Zip Zap Boing

A fast-paced energy game where one mistake sends you out.

Forces full attention and fast reactions — impossible to be passive.

Instructions

Stand in a circle. Pass energy using three moves: ZIP (pass left), ZAP (send across), BOING (bounce back). Anyone who hesitates or uses the wrong word is out — and becomes a noisy distraction on the sideline. Speed up gradually.

Best used when
