My girl came up with a fun silly game at lunch.
If she said GO, we would race to raise our left hand. If she said STOP, raise our right hand. Whoever raised it first got a point.
Naturally the person calling out the word would normally win the point, but not always. And it a bit mind bending when you’re facing each other so the opposite side is shooting up.
I added another level of difficulty by changing the words to LEFT and RIGHT, but mapped onto the wrong hands. That one was just a total train wreck.
The “Ping Pong” comes from passing “serve” after 5 points with the winner at 11 points.
And here’s an easier holiday version: HANUKKAH and CHRISTMAS. In this case raise up both arms when HANUKKAH is called (like a menorah), and clap your hands above your head when CHRISTMAS is called (like a tree). The clap adds a nice sound element to the game.
