Instructions
  • Gather everyone into a circle.  
  • Say, "Today we are going to play a game called Zip, Zap, Zoom! This game is easy to learn, but you have to really focus your attention to stay in the game!"
  • Explain the rules of the game. 
    • The first person in the circle will use a point-clap motion toward someone in the circle while saying, "Zip!"
    • The person 'zipped' will next do a point-clap motion to someone else in the circle while saying, "Zap!"
    • The person 'zapped' will next do a point-clap motion to another person in the circle while saying, "Zoom!"
    • Repeat around the circle using those three prompts. If anyone hesitates or goes out of turn, they are out. 
  • Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?"
  • Point-clap and say, "Zip!" to someone in the circle to start game play.
  • Continue playing Zip, Zap, Zoom until the group has a champion.
