How To Play the Copycat Game
The rules of the Copycat game are really simple.
Step 1: First of all, pair up with your friends. Then one person will start the game by making a random movement.
Step 2: The second person will copy the same movement that the last person did but they will add their own movement after that. Then the third person will copy all the movements and add their own movement after that, and the players keep building up the sequence.
If you are a group of two people you can keep adding up movements to the sequence until one of you fails to remember the exact order.
If you are a large group of people. The game can get much more challenging and fun. The variety of random movements that everyone adds can be really silly and funny.
Step 3: Every player that fails to remember gets kicked out and the last person standing wins.
Remember to use your upper and lower parts of your body together to create complex movements. Link the movements together smoothly to make them look like one piece.
The game may not be as easy as it sounds!
