Each pair of players plays a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who does the activities.
-
In Rock, Paper, Scissors, each player holds one hand under his armpit. Together they hop three times. When they land for the third time, each player pulls out his hand and either makes a fist (rock), shows a flat hand (paper), or holds two fingers out (scissors).

The losing player then dribbles a ball to the other side of the room and back while the winner jumps up and down and says: “Ha, Ha. Ha, Ha.”
-Questions & Notes:
-
If dribbling the ball is too difficult, have players roll the ball.
-
If dribbling the ball is too easy, have players dribble two balls.
