Tonight’s Mixer
We are trying out this mixer that I got from The Source. It’s yet another variation of paper, rock, scissors – but get this, you actually play paper, rock scissors.Â
Actually, if we were Hindu, it’d be a great illustration of the caste system.
The goal of this game is to work your way up by beating other players at Rock-Scissors-Paper to the “position†of king or queen.
Everyone starts out as an egg. You find another egg and play Rock-Scissors-Paper. The winner “grows” into a chicken who finds another chicken to play against. Whoever wins “grows” into a dinosaur. The loser returns to being an egg.
Once a dinosaur you must find another dinosaur to play against. If you lose you step down to a chicken. The next step is becoming a prince or princess, which of course means playing against another prince or princess. If you win you become a King or Queen and stand off to the side. If you lose you return to a dinosaur. The game is played until there is one egg, chicken, dinosaur and prince. All other players will be kings or queens.
The fun in all this?: Eggs waddle on the ground in a little ball, chickens walk and squat while flapping their wings and “clicking”, dinosaurs “roar” standing up. Princes/princesses “prance” around holding an imaginary scepter while kings and queens stand off to the side victoriously.

It went really well. At first, I thought it would be like in rounds. Like we would tell them when to change partners. But, they sort of just made it a free for all, which ended up being very funny & quicker. You just had all these different groups of characters all over the room. It was a lot of fun!
