What to do with this activity?

Rock, paper, scissors is a game for two people that encourages fast thinking and a lot of laughs.

Here's how it works. After a count of 1-2-3, and at exactly the same time, each player makes a shape with their hand - either:

1) A rock (closed fist)
2) Scissors (the pointing and middle finger in a V shape)
3) Paper (fingers together and flat)

Rock beats scissors (by crushing them); scissors beat paper (by cutting it); paper beats rock (by covering it). The picture above shows you how it works. If both players choose the same shape it's a tie - play again. See who wins the most challenges.

In Vietnam the same game is called "elephant, human, ant". The pointed thumb is elephant and crushes the human; an upright pointing finger is the human who steps on the ant; and the little finger is the ant that runs up the elephant trunk and tickles him to death!
