⚡ Zip Zap Boing!
Learning Objectives
👉 Zip Zap Boing Gameplay
In a single group, have participants stand in a circle. This game works best with 5 or more players and must be played in person.
Make your zipzapper
Press your hands together in front of you, palms facing each other to make your energy zipzapper. Crackle! Feel the energy between your hands!
Point your zipzapper to the person next to you, and say “Zip”.
Point your zipzapper at anyone in the circle and say “Zap”.
Now, put both hands up in the air, jump, and say “Boing!” This reverses the direction of play.
Play the game
One person starts by saying “Zip” and pointing to another person in the circle. That person then has three options:
- Zip the person on your left or right.
- Zap anyone in the circle.
- Boing the energy back to them, which reverses the direction of play.
The game continues with players reacting quickly to keep the energy flowing.
If someone hesitates or makes a mistake, they’re out.
Evolve the game
Add variations to increase complexity and challenge
- Round 2: Add a new word “Zop” which skips the next person in the circle
- Round 3: Players must use a different gesture for each word (e.g., point for Zip, thumbs up for Zap, jazz hands for Boing)
- Round 4: Increase the speed - anyone who takes more than 2 seconds to respond is out

🍽️ Community Lunch
Every Saturday we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.
This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.
