Halloween just got spooky competitive! Beat the Screen – Halloween Edition is a fast-paced twist on Rock, Paper, Scissors where everyone plays against the screen at once. Students will choose to act like a vampire, werewolf, or zombie — but only one will survive each round. It’s quick, it’s chaotic, and it will have your whole group howling with laughter!

How to Play

Have everyone stand up and face the screen. When the countdown ends, students must strike one of three poses: Vampire (arms up like a cape), Werewolf (hands as claws), or Zombie (arms out like a zombie). Then reveal the screen’s choice. Vampire beats Werewolf, Werewolf beats Zombie, and Zombie beats Vampire. Anyone who loses to the screen’s choice sits down — winners stay standing and play again. Keep going until only one player remains — they are the Halloween champion!
