Olympic Rock Paper Scissors (Classroom Physical Activity Breaks)

Carlos Rodriguez and students of Rogers Street Academy demonstrate this non-elimination, competitive, active Rock Paper Scissors.

This activity can be done with traditional rock paper scissors or the full body rock paper scissors demonstrated. Rock paper scissors is an excellent method of conflict resolution for students. If a dispute or argument over a game rule happens have the students do rock paper scissors to resolve it and have them start playing again.

Grade Level: K-8

Addresses Wisconsin Physical Education Standard 1: "Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities," and Wisconsin Physical Education Standard 5: "Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings."
