Good job!

A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Prepare the Twister pitch and gather a group of players in front of the two discs. Each player will play individually.

2

The first player turns the Twister Wheel. It will land for example on the right hand.

3

Then, the players turns the Country Wheel. It will land for example on India.

4

The player will now need to put his right hand on India on the Twister pitch. After, the next player will spin both discs before placing a hand or foot on the pitch.

5

If all players haven taken their turn, play a second turn. The educator will turn the discs, and the player will then need to play another body part on the map.

6

If a player falls down or can't fulfill a task, he is out of the game!

7

The game ends when there is only one player left!

Variations

Be creative with the Twister Pitch! If drawing a world map takes you too much time, try to draw a more abstract outline of your continent. Make sure to adapt the Country Wheel!
