Wizards cast spells on giants. Giants squish elves.
Elves are small and quick and outsmart wizards.
The game begins with teams huddling together, deciding
which creatures the team will be. The entire team must be
the same creature at the same time. As soon as the teams
have decided on their creature, they line up face to face with
the opposing team, in rows about four feet apart.
On the leader's command team members jump to their pose. A point
is scored on the basis of which creature beats which. If both
teams form the same creature, no point is scored and teams
return to their huddle to decide their next team move. The
first team to score 5-7 points wins.
Sides can be scrambled, and the game played again to
avoid any emphasis on competition.
Motions:
Giants - Stand tall. Arms straight over head. Fingers curled
ready to grab. Voices give loud "growl."
Wizards - Crouch slightly. Arms extended, fingers extended
to cast spell. Eyes lurk behind arms. Voice a wizardry
"hiss."
Elves - Crouch down on haunches. Hands and arms in front
puppy style. Voice one loud "ha."
