Dip, Dip, Dip

Ages: 6+

Number of players: 3 -15~

Supplies: concentration and reflexes

Object: be the last player in the circle

Stand in a circle. The leader will put their hands together (like praying hands) and use them for a pointer.  Aiming at someone in the circle, they say "dip, dip, dip".  That person will pass the "dip" on by aiming their hands at someone else and repeating "dip, dip, dip".  And on and on the dip is passed randomly through the circle. 

Meanwhile, the two players standing on either side of the person who is saying "dip, dip, dip" will put their hands together (praying hands again) and do a sideways tree chopping motion toward the person saying "dip, dip, dip", but say  "dippity, dippity, dip", instead and at the same time.  There will be a rhythm and it has to be maintained.  If you mess up and break the rhythm you step out of the circle and the game starts up again where it left off.  When you are down to two players, they do a "rock, paper, scissors" play off to decide the winner.  Then, everyone hops back in the circle and you go again. 

Details:  "dippity, dippity, dip" begins after the first  "dip, dip, dip" is passed. The first one is just to begin the game.  Once the rhythm is broken and you start the game back up.  Be ready for when someone dips the person next to them. It gets exciting.
