Instructions

*Play the game *
- Gather everyone together and tell them they’re going to play ‘Command the Castle’.
- Ask half the group to stand on a cone each. They should be stood in the middle of the space.
- Explain to everyone that they’re the ‘Kings’ or ‘Queens’.
- Ask everyone else to spread themselves out around the space.
- Explain to everyone that the aim of the game is to be a ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ at the end of the game.
- To become a King or Queen, when the music starts, the people not on a cone need to circle around the kings, just like a moat around a castle. Then the music stops, everyone in the moat challenges a ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ with rock, paper, scissors. If the ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ wins they stay in the castle, however if the challenger wins, they become the ‘King’ or ‘Queen’.
- Start the music and play the game.
- Repeat this until everyone has had a chance at becoming a ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ of the castle.
