Activity Rules
The basic rules of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” are the following:
The players count to 3. On 3 they form one out of 3 symbols with their hands:
1) “Rock” – the fist
2) “Paper” – the straight hand
3) “Scissors” – index and middle-finger pointing out
Each symbol wins and loses against one other symbol:
“Rock” brakes the “Scissors”.
“Scissors” cuts the “Paper”.
“Paper” wraps the “Rock”
