Instructions
- Gather everyone into a circle.
- Explain in this game of Evolution, we will all evolve from one life form into another by performing the following actions:
- Egg = Squat low to the ground with your hands over your head
- Chicken = Walk like a chicken while clucking
- Dinosaur = Stretch your arms in front of you and open and close them like big jaws
- Rock star = Strum an air guitar
- Superhero = Strike your best superhero pose
- Demonstrate each of the actions above as you describe them.
- Say, "We will all start out as eggs. So, everyone get down into your best Egg pose."
- Demonstrate the Egg pose, and give players a chance to get into their squatting pose with arms overhead.
- Say, "You are all beautiful eggs! Now look to your left. That person is your partner. Play one round of Rock, Paper, Scissors with your partner to see who wins. The winner gets to evolve into the next life form: A chicken! But if you are not the winner, you will remain an egg for this round."
- Exclaim, "Ready? Go!"
- Say, "Chickens, please find the next chicken to your right to be your next Rock, Paper, Scissor partner. And eggs, you can partner up with the egg that is to your right."
- Ask, "Did everyone find their partner?"
- Say, "Let's play again! Play Rock, Paper, Scissors with your new partner. The winning Eggs become Chickens and winning Chickens become Dinosaurs. Those who don't win this round will stay the same."
- Ask, "Are you ready to find a new partner?"
- Say, "Eggs, find an Egg to your right, and Chickens, find a Chicken to your left."
- Continue play for 10 minutes, or until everyone has evolved into Superheroes, as time permits.
