    • The purpose of evolution is for everyone to become super humans
    • Participants can evolve through successfully winning a round of rock paper scissors (rock, paper, scissors, shoot).

Rules:

  • If you win a round you may move up to the next level. (ie. Egg to chicken)
  • You may only play with participants who are at the same level as you (ie. Dinosaurs vs. dinosaurs)
  • If you lose a round you do not down grade, you remain at the same level (you do not move down levels).

 Time: 5 Minutes

 

Materials Needed:

  • N/A

 

Instructions:

  • Everyone must be in a pair for this activity.
  • The facilitator will make some calls on ways partners will connect. (i.e. hand to hand, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, etc…)
  • When the facilitator calls out one of these prompts, the pair must get into these positions as soon as possible.
  • When “People to People” is called you must separate from your pair and find another person to partner up with.

 

Rules:

  • You must respond to the call as soon as possible.

 

Note:

  •  You can open up the calls to the participants.
    • If participants are uncomfortable with any of the positions called, they can revert to a standard touch (ex. hand to hand)
    • If you want to add a level of intensity you can say the last pair to get into position is out, and helps the facilitator judge for the rest of the rounds.
