The ‘Toilet Paper’ Game

Dec 18, 2009 No Comments by Eric Gallagher Printer Friendly Version

This game does not really have a name, but is very simple.  It is like the Johnny Whoop game where you simply start with one or more people who know how to do it and then the others have to figure out the trick.   You play until everyone or most people figure it out.

Simple find an item that can be passed around.  Let us a roll of toilet paper for an example.  The leader will start by saying “Ok, we are going to play the toilet paper game, do you know how to play the toilet paper game?”  and they will pass the toilet paper to someone else.  That person will now try to do it correctly.  You will tell them they either did it right or wrong and then let the next person try.

The trick to the game that needs to be figured is out that everyone person starts by saying ‘OK.’

When you are first starting be sure to have it come back to someone who knows how to do it often so others can figure it out.

Know that some people may do it correctly and not know why, this is what makes the game fun.

We have used this game to dismiss for lunch.  Once you get it, than you can go eat.

Enjoy!
