How to Play

  1. All players stand in a circle with their eyes closed.
  2. The instructor discreetly hands a spoon to one person in the circle. This person is the designated Spoon Holder.
  3. The Spoon Holder must quickly and covertly hide the spoon on their person.
  4. Once the spoon is hidden, the instructor will give the signal to begin, and everyone is permitted to open their eyes and disperse within a specified play area.
  5. The Spoon Holder's objective is to subtly tap each player with the spoon. The other players are unaware of the Spoon Holder's identity.
  6. If a player gets tapped by the spoon, they are then 'enlisted' and must assist the Spoon Holder in tapping the remaining players.
  7. The game continues until all players have been tapped and are aiding the Spoon Holder.
