Zip-Zap Game

This Game is meant for Cub Scouts.

Notes:

One additional rule you may need is that a new pointer may not immediately call on the old pointer.

Instructions:

Sit in a circle with one scout standing in the center. When the center scout points to someone and says "Zip!" the scout must give the name of the scout on their right before the pointer counts to ten. If the pointer says "Zap!" the scout must name the scout on their left. If he says "Zip!Zap!", the scout must name scouts on both sides. Anyone who gives the wrong name or is too slow becomes the pointer and the old pointer takes their place.

Ive played it differently its set up the same way but when the person in the middle says zip he points inbetwean 2 people and the last person to say zap is out and the other replaces the one in the middle.

I have played it like this, but when Pointer says "zip zap" everyone has to get up and move to a new seat. Last person standing is new Pointer. It helps if everyone is in a chair so that it is clear how many places there are to sit. This gets everyone moving, and changes who 'zip' and 'zap' are for everyone.
