Twister is a very simple
game that can become
very complicated as the
players can easily get tied
up in knots. Play a classic
game of twister replacing
the colored dots with
symbols commonly
associated with Easter.

Game Materials
1. Easter symbols: Choose
from among the following
symbols based on the size
of your group.

2. The normal mat in the boxed
game that forms the playing
surface is decorated with six circles
each of red, yellow, green and
blue. Instead of the standard
twister mat, cut Easter shapes
from colored construction paper
and use sticky-tack to adhere them
to the floor. You can place them
randomly or in rows of a single
symbol for each row like the
original twister game. Vary the
number of symbols and rows to
accommodate the size of your
group.

3. There are two spinners. If you
don’t have a spinner you can easily
make one. Make a twister spinner
that includes right hand, left hand,
right foot, left foot. You can also
paste these onto the side of a die
and roll the die in place of a spinner.
The second spinner must contain the
same symbols as those placed on the
floor. In place of a second spinner
you can put the symbols on small
cards and place them in a bag.

Game Objective
Touch the symbols on the
floor with the correct body
part as indicated by the
spinner and the color and
phrase of the symbol drawn
from the bag. Do not let any
other part of your body touch
the ground.

Game Play
1. An appointed person spins the
spinner and chooses the symbol
(rolling the die or pulling the card
with the symbol on it from the
bag) and calls out instructions for
the players to follow, such as: “left
hand: Blue: Cross”, “right foot:
yellow: Empty Tomb”.

2. The players follow the
directions, moving their hands
and feet to the relevant symbols
and try not to fall over–a knee or
an elbow on the ground and
they’re out. Use the wrong body
part or the wrong symbol and
you are also eliminated from the
game
3. The board can get quite
crowded and the participants
quite distorted hence the name
“Twister.” How flexible are you?

Variation
Instead of playing on an
individual basis, divide the
group into teams. The team
with the last remaining
members in the game wins.
