Ninja

The Hook: A game of absolute focus and sudden, explosive movement.

How to Play:

  1. Everyone stands in a tight circle, hands together.
  2. On the count of “3-2-1-NINJA!”, everyone jumps back into a “Ninja Pose” and freezes.
  3. Taking turns clockwise, each player gets one fluid motion to try and tap another player’s hand.
  4. The “Defender” can make one fluid motion to dodge.
  5. Both players must freeze in their new position immediately after the move. If your hand is hit, that arm is “out” (put it behind your back). If both hands are hit, you’re out.

The “Peak”: This is great for the final 5 minutes of Troop Time to calm the heart rate before going back inside.
