Horses, Knights & Cavaliers

A de-inhibitiser that will have everyone laughing in no time!

How to play

Instruct group members to find a partner. Have partners stand opposite one another approximately 15m apart. Ask one pair to move into the middle and use them to demonstrate the three actions. The actions are: HORSES - one person moves onto all fours while their partner sits on top like a jockey. KNIGHTS - one person moves onto one knee and holds a pretend sword in the air while their partner sits on their knee like a princess. CAVALIERS - one person picks up their partner in the style of a groom carrying his bride. On the call, participants run into the middle and perform the appropriate action. The last couple to form the action is either eliminated or receives a point (e.g. eliminated on three points).
