How to run it
- Form a circle in which everyone can see every other person.
- One person starts by creating the antlers of a ‘moose,’ ie placing their open hands with out-stretched fingers up to the sides of their head, thumbs on temples.
- Immediately, the two people left and right of the ‘moose’ respond by copying this ‘antler’ action, but only using the hand closest to the moose.
- At any time they choose, the ‘moose’ (only) will bend their antlers forward on their head (keeping thumbs in position) while pointing with their two index fingers and looking directly at another person in the group.
- The pointed-at person becomes the next ‘moose’ who will immediately sprout antlers together with his or her neighbours.
- The previous moose trio relinquishes their antlers, as the new moose picks up the action.
- Antlers Quick circle game creates instant fun with moose antler actions & reactions.
