Do you know the game Rock, Paper, Scissors? That is what the game is called in the United States, but maybe you know it by a different name. People call it Ching Chong Cha in South Africa. They call it Ca-Chi-Pun in Chile. In Korea, it is called Kawi Bawi Bo. People young and old play this game in countries all around the world. It's an easy game to play because it has just a few rules. There are usually two players in the game, and they usually play the game standing. Each player holds one hand closed. First, the players move their arms up and down, saying "One, two, three!" Then each player makes one of three hand gestures. They have to make the gestures at the same time. The three gestures are Rock, Paper, and Scissors. They look like this. Rock, Paper, Scissors. When the two players make two different gestures, who wins? Rock beats scissors. Scissors beats paper. Paper beats rock. Sometimes both players make the same gesture. Then nobody wins. Each time the players make their gestures, it's a "throw." There have to be three or more throws in a game. The player who wins two out of three throws is the winner. Many people play the game just for fun, but sometimes it's a way to decide something-which movie to watch, for example, or what kind of pizza to get. The winner will be the one who decides. The game is sometimes used to decide more important things, too. Rock, Paper, Scissors is easy to learn, fun to play, and free. Try it with a friend.
