Splat

A fast thinking circle game.

• Set Up

  • Circle up

• Equipment

  • No equipment

• Objective

  To quickly respond the the splatter to not get out.

• Directions

  1. The player standing in the middle of the circle is the “splatter”.

  2. The splatter randomly points to someone and shouts “SPLAT!”

  3. The player pointed to must duck down; then the two players on either side of the “ducker” must “splat” each other by pointing to the other and saying “SPLAT!”

  4. The last one to splat sits down, and the player ducking stands back up.

  5. The game continues until there are two players left, have them Rock Paper Scissors to determine who will be the new splatter in the middle.

• Variations

  • Instead of sitting down when last to splat, have that player switch with the player in the middle.

  • Or have them perform a task to get back in the game.

• Coaching Points

  • Choose the splatter by who is listening the best

  • Appoint a referee to determine who was faster so there aren't arguements
