WA! – GROUP Game

Great for: Middle School

Directions: Have the campers form a standing circle and hold their hands in front of their chest, palms together. 

    Choose a camper (Camper 1) to begin. They will count down from three, then point their hands at another camper in the circle (Camper 2) and yell “WA!”- being sure to make eye contact. 

    Camper 2 then points their hands to the sky and yells “WA!” 

    Then the campers on either side of Camper 2 swing their hands towards the camper (like a ninja slice) and shout “WA!”, being careful not to make contact.

Camper 2 then points their hands towards another camper in the circle (Camper 3) and yells “WA!”

    The Cycle continues with Camper 3 pointing up and shouting “WA!”, the campers on either side of them ninja slicing inwards and yelling “WA!”

    The game continues until a camper misses their move or does not yell, “WA!” in time. That camper sits down and is out. Continue until there are two campers left (then rock-paper-scissors).
