SHOT

Resources : Nil. Method : Get everyone to stand in a circle facing inwards. The leader running the game will need to stand in the middle of the circle. The leader points at someone in the circle. That person must duck down straight away and the two people either side of them must turn to face each other, hold their hands in the shape of a gun and say/yell "bang". All this needs to happen as quickly as possible.
 * Name **: Shot

Whoever ends up getting "shot" is out. So if the person who gets pointed at originally doesn't duck down quick enough, then they are out. If they do duck down quickly, then whoever says "bang" first out of the two people either side of them stays in and the other person is out.

When there are only two people left, they stand back to back, and the person who was in the middle starts counting. With each count the two people take steps away from each other, western style. The person who was in the middle then yells bang, and the two people turn and say "bang".

This is a super fun game that needs to no extra materials and is easy to explain and get the hang of. Students might want to play a few rounds so they can get a second chance if they get out really quickly.

For the leader running the game, after a few turns they might want to make their pointing a bit trickier by looking away or spinning in a circle. //Be creative//

SHOT Extension
 //You could extend this game to be a get to know each other activity// //Firstly get everyone in the circle to say their name, their age and their favourite hobby. Once you've done this you can begin. //

//For round one, let everyone know that before saying "bang" they will need to say the name of the person who gets pointed at. For round two, you could try saying the age, and for round three, you could go for the hobby. //

//It may get tricky for kids to get it right because they will often say the name of the person they are looking at, not the person who ducks down. //
