Goal
To become Superman

How to Play
Explain to the group, that there are 4 types of characters: Chickens, Dinosaurs, Humans, and Superman.
Everyone starts off as a chicken, clucking, strutting around, bobbing their heads, holding their hands up to their arm-pits, and flapping. When they approach each other, they may play rock-paper-sissors to determine who can advance. The winner moves up to dinosaur; the loser remains a chicken.
Dinosaurs take giant steps, leaning slightly forward at the hips, arms raised in a curled forward position, and roar. From this point on, when they lose rock-paper-sissors, the will go down a level.
Humans walk around, swinging their arms casually.
Superman is the ideal status. Superman (or woman) "glides" around, arms stretched out. He/she is invincible, and does not lose status, but can bring others up (or down) by playing rock-paper-sissors until everyone else is Superman as well.
The game is over when everyone has obtained Superman status.
