Ninja

How to Play:

• Players begin in a tight circle, shoulder to shoulder, with one hand in the middle.

• Everyone counts "1, 2, 3" then calls out "Ninja" - on "Ninja" all players take one step back and go into their Ninja pose.

• Players take turns trying to tap the hand of another player, using one fluid motion.

  • A motion can be a single movement of arm/hand, and/or a jump or pivot. More than one arm movement, or multiple steps, is not permitted.

• The defending player can attempt to avoid the attack pivoting on one foot and landing in a position.

  • Only the defending player may move from their position. If someone moves when they are not attacking or defending, they select one arm to take out of the game.

• If a player's hand is tapped, that arm is out. If both arms are tapped over the course of a game, that player is out and joins the audience.
