Paper, Rock, Scissors!

More commonly known to American's as Rock, Paper, Scissors. 

In Korea it is a favorite of students to use this game to settle a wide variety of issues such as: the order the students will use for a game or assignment, to see which student will get to eat the last of a treat, and to see who will read first.  Just about anything is an excuse to use the fun game.

It is played a bit differently as well.  Three rounds are usually played and it is usually the best out of 3 or the last one that decides the winner.  It depends on the children playing. 

All of us who are familiar with that game also are familiar with children arguing and saying to start over or something isn't fair.  Not so in Korea ladies and gentlemen!  The students here play the game and move on.  No arguing, no whining, no cheating.  It is pretty neat to watch it take place here.  The students have a great time playing it and it gets pretty loud and fun watching them do it.  They play, they move on.  Would this ever happen in the States as easy as this?
