Instructions

1. The person leading the game should explain how to play ‘rock, paper, scissors’. Two people count down from three and show either a rock (by making their hand into a fist), paper (by showing the palm of their hand) or scissors (by using their first two fingers like a peace sign). Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock.
*It’s a good idea to agree how you’ll count down from three: will you show your hand on the number one or on the word go?

2. Everyone should spread out around the space. In the game of Zombie evolution, everyone starts as a Leg Dragger. They should lay down on the floor, on their belly and use their arms to move about dragging their legs (hence Leg Draggers) adding sound effects too!

3. Everyone should move around until they meet another Leg Dragger.
*Remind everyone to stay at a safe distance from others when they’re moving around.

4. When someone meets another Leg Dragger, they should play a game of rock, paper, scissors. The winner should evolve into a Crawler and the other player should stay as a Leg Dragger.
*Again, remind pairs to stand at a safe distance from each other when they’re duelling.

5. The Crawler should move around on their hands and feet.
*The Leg Dragger should repeat step four and find another Leg Dragger to duel.

6. The Crawler should move around the space until they find another Crawler, they then should play another game of rock, paper, scissors. This time, the winner should evolve into a Shambling Zombie and the loser should turn back into an Leg Dragger.

7. The Shambling Zombie should stand up and wander around in true Hollywood Zombie fashion with their arms out straight until they meet another Shambling Zombie.

8. When two Shambling Zombies meet, they should play another game. The winner gains 1 point and devolves back to a Leg Dragger whereas the loser should turn back into a Crawler.

9. The winner of this game is the Zombie with the most points after the play time is up! (this can be adjusted based on number of players and speed of Evolution.

Encourage slow movement and keep any zombie grabbing to a minimum.
Movement and movement styles can be adapted where necessary to be fully inclusive of all ages and mobility needs.
