🎲

****Group:** 8+ · ****Where:** Indoors or outdoors · ****Materials:** None · ****Skills:** coordination, strategy, teamwork

The players form a circle and hold hands tightly. One player stands in the middle and plays the power pole. The power pole must not be touched, otherwise you get an electric shock and you’re out.

The goal of the players in the circle is to pull the others into the power pole so they get a “shock” and are eliminated. If two players let go of each other’s hands, both are out.

The game ends when only two players are left. They decide the winner with rock, paper, scissors, and the winner becomes the new power pole for the next round.
