← All Warm-ups
In this warm-up game, which is a bit reminiscent of "Rock, paper, scissors" or the game "Schnick, schnack, schnuck", two players stand facing each other. They always move on the same beat, that is, they slap both hands on their thighs at the same time. For the next jointly and simultaneously initiated action impulse they have three options to choose from: they can cock their revolver - upper arms approximately horizontal, forearms stretched up, fist, only the index finger extended, "click" is said, OR they protect themselves by crossing their arms, OR they shoot, in which case the arms are bent, that is, the forearms are pointed forward with a fist, only the index finger extended, and one "shoots" and says "bang". After that, both slap their thighs at the same time again. Then again cock, shoot or protect, etc.
Depending on the combination, the following happens:
If both do the same thing, nothing happens regarding the other: the virtual bullets collide and are thus without effect, or both have crossed arms, or both cock their revolver.
If one shoots and the other is just cocking the revolver: bad luck, they're dead.
One shoots, the other crosses their arms; they are protected and not dead.
Important: before you can shoot, you first have to have cocked the revolver.
Example:
1st second: both slap their thighs at the same time
2nd second: A and B cock at the same time
3rd second: both slap their thighs at the same time
4th second: A shoots, at the same time B crosses their arms
5th second: both slap their thighs at the same time
6th second: B cocks again, A simultaneously crosses their arms
7th second: both slap their thighs at the same time
8th second: A cocks, at the same time B shoots, A is dead.
