Rock Paper Scissors Split Game

Instructions:
1. A round begins with two people standing face to face. Both
players should have one foot stacked in front of the other,
touching their heel to their toe. Move the front foot to touch
the other person’s front foot.

2. Once the players are positioned, Rock, Paper, Scissors

begins. The best out of one round each time wins.

3. The winner moves their front foot directly behind their back
foot, touching the toe of their front foot to their heel (yellow
hat). The loser slides their front foot forward so that it
touches the winner’s front foot (grey hat).

4. This process is repeated until someone falls over or

touches the ground. It is important that the back foot is not
moved when sliding your front foot to meet your
opponent’s. Play as many rounds as you’d like!
