Thumper is a fun and energetic game that doesn't involve drinking, but can still be a blast with a group of people. Here's how to play:
- Have all players sit in a circle and choose someone to start.
- The starting player will perform a simple hand motion, such as tapping their hands on their lap.
- The rest of the group will then mimic the starting player's hand motion.
- Once everyone is doing the motion together, the starting player will say 'What's the name of the game?'
- The group will respond in unison, 'Thumper!'
- The starting player will then choose a 'thumper,' or a specific hand motion, and perform it.
- The rest of the group will then perform the 'thumper' and make a different hand motion that represents a different player in the circle.
- That player will then do the same, choosing a new 'thumper' and continuing the game.
- If a player messes up or takes too long to perform their motion, they must take a seat and are out of the game.
- The game continues until only one player is left standing.
Remember to play safely and to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and safe participating in the game.
