Zip Zap Boing! - a silly party game

3 Conversations

The Object of the Game

The object is to catch the other people out by making them say the wrong thing, and to stay in as long as possible.

How to Play

The game starts with a large group of people1 standing in a circle. Using the following words, an imaginary something2 is pased around the circle. You can only take a turn when you've got the something!

Zip

Holding the hands in a "gun" type pose, and, sweeping said gun across to point to the person next to you in the circle - on either side, you pass the something to them. At the same time, yell, "ZIP!"

Zap

Holding hands in aforementioned gun pose, point to someone in the circle who is not directly next to you to pass the something to them, while shouting "ZAP!"

Boing!

Pretend you are made of rubber or jelly, and wobble enthusiastically as you reflect the something back to the person who just passed it to you and cry, "BOING!!"

A Few Rules

  • You can't take a go unless it's your turn, of course.
  • Zips, Zaps and Boing!s can only be used for the above.
  • You have to pass the something as quickly as posible - without hesitation!

When You're Caught Out

If you break the rules, then you are forced to sit out. The winner is the person who is last standing.

1At least seven is a good number, but it can be played with four.2The turn, like the something in the game Tag which makes a person "it".
