Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play Grumpy Gorilla:
1. Set Up: * Gather Players: Determine the number of players. * Choose a Grumpy Gorilla: Select one player to be the Grumpy Gorilla. * Designate a “Safe Zone”: Choose a specific area within the playing space as the Safe Zone.
2. Gameplay: * The Chase: The Grumpy Gorilla chases the other players around the playing area. * Avoid the Gorilla: Players must try to avoid being tagged by the Grumpy Gorilla. * Reach the Safe Zone: Players can escape being “It” by reaching the designated Safe Zone.
3. Getting Tagged: * Becoming the Grumpy Gorilla: If a player is tagged by the Grumpy Gorilla, they become the new Grumpy Gorilla.
4. Winning: * No Set Winner: The game continues indefinitely, with players switching roles as they are tagged.
5. Variations: * Obstacles: Introduce obstacles in the playing area to make the chase more challenging. * Freezing: The Grumpy Gorilla can “freeze” players by tapping them. Frozen players must remain still until another player unfreezes them by tagging them. * Teams: Divide players into two teams and have one team’s Grumpy Gorilla chase the other team’s players.
Note: This is a basic guide. Feel free to adjust the rules and add your own creative twists to make the game more exciting!
