Play EarthE Games to give your friends and others a chance to win goodies from you for taking actions for the planet.
EarthE Game #1: T.A.L.L.
This EarthE Game is played like rock, paper, scissors (r.p.g.) except that the fist (rock) stands for Team, flat hand (paper) stands for Art, and the V fingers (scissors) stands for Logic. A tie stands for Love.
Team, Art, Logic and Love (TALL) are the four basic ways to help protect the planet -- as described in the XO Earth pledge.
As in most EarthE Games, player1 offers to give a player2 a chance to win something as a reward for a specific eco action(s) player2 has taken or agreed to take.
Prizes may be anything player1 wants to offer -- such as lunch, a poem, a hand massage, a bicycle or tea.
Similiar to r.p.g., Team wins over (tops) Logic, Logic wins over (lifts) Art, and, Art wins over (assists) Team. A tie stands for Love.
Before the game starts, player1 tells player2 that if they make it through three levels of the game, that they will win a specific thing for taking actions for the planet. Actually, any number of levels may be decided upon, before the game starts.
To start the game, on the count of 4, both player1 and player2 extend out their hands with a Team (fist), Art (flat hand) or Logic (V fingers) on each hand.
Then, to score this first level of play, the left hand of player2 is compared to the right hand of player1. Then, the right hand of player2 is compared to the right hand of the player1. If player2 wins both sides, then the game goes to the second level.
If there is a tie on either side which equals Love, then the two players say something they love about the planet, and then play again. Of course, players can make up other stuff to say or do when there is a tie.
If player2 wins the next level, then the game goes to the third level.
Finally, if player2 wins the third level, player1 gives player2 the prize.
So play TALL a bunch, have a TALL blast and stand TALL Earth lovers!!
Note: We might make an EarthE Game membership card. In the mean time, feel free to print out the ultra fine EarthE Honors cardz for players to print out ::

EarthE Game #2: T.A.L.L. 2
This EarthE Game is played a lot like TALL except that it based on "odds and evens". It is similiar to "rock, paper, scizzors" too.
As in most EarthE Games, player1 offers to give a player2 a chance to win something as a reward for a specific eco action(s) they have taken or agree to take.
Before the game starts, player1 tells player2 that if they make it through three levels of the game, that they will win a specific thing for taking actions for the planet. Actually, any number of levels may be decided upon, before the game starts.
Prizes may be anything player1 wants to offer -- such as lunch, a poem, a hand massage, a horse or tea.
The player1 then asks the player2 whether they want to win with odd or even numbers.
To start the game, on the count of 4, both player1 and player2 extend out 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 fingers on each hand.
Then, to score this first level of play, the left hand of player1 is added to the right hand of player2. If the number is "even" and the player2 chose "even" to win before the game started, then person wins those two hands.
Then, the right hand of player1 is added to the right hand of the player2. If the number is "even" again, then and player2 gets to go to the second level.
Finally, if player2 wins the third level, player1 gives player2 the prize. Then say EarthEeeee!!
By the way, the 4 fingers that each person uses in the game represent Team, Art, Logic and Love -- the four basic ways to protect the planet.
