Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

So after stuffing our faces all day on Thanksgiving, we played a game that helped us work off some of the food we consumed.  My sister in law, Susan, introduced us all to The Ninja Game.  Seriously people, IT IS HILARIOUS. We played this for over an hour and it never got old.  How do you play, you ask? Well here are the rules-

Everyone stands in a circle.  The Sensei asks, “Ninjas ready?”, and then all ninjas bow and say, “yes, Sensei.”

Then everyone strikes a ninja pose.  Keep in mind that every time you make a move, you must accompany it with a ninja sound effect. Starting with the Sensei you jump into a new ninja pose with the goal of hitting a ninja next to you on the hand.  When you move to hit them, they can counter your move with a ninja pose of their own, all while you are both making really crazy ninja noises like HIIIIYYYYYYAAAAAAA! If you don’t make contact with their hand, the turn moves to the next ninja.  If you do hit their hand, they are out.  Your turn gives you only ONE move and then you are frozen in that pose until your next turn or to avoid a strike by another ninja. The last ninja standing is the new Sensei.

I cannot tell you how stinking fun this game is.  Thanks for teaching it to us, Susan. Now sit back while I show you some sweet ninja action, and I dare you not to think about the song, Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!

 

That’s right, I whipped out THE CRANE. Just call me Tenae-son.
