One, Two, Three

One, Two, Three

Fatima in Pakistan played this game at a Play Day where boys and girls come together. They have fun and get to know each other, soon realising that they have a lot more in common than tradition usually allows. Now she is playing it with her brothers at home.

Winter Olympian and Right To Play Ambassador, Akwasi Frimpong takes on this Right To Play game with his family. Check out the video above and play along!

How to Play

  1. Face a partner. Player A counts "one", Player B counts "two", Player A counts "three", Player B counts "one" and so on. Repeat several times always following the sequence one, two, three and get faster if you can.
  2. Then replace "one" with a gesture and sound (e.g. a waving hand and a whooping sound)
  3. After several rounds replace "two" also with a different gesture and sound and later on "three" as well.
