An educational spelling spin on the classic Rock Paper Scissors game! Every time you beat the computer, you'll unveil a letter from a UK national curriculum word. Complete the word and this will then be read out within a sentence to provide the context in which it can be used. Rock Paper Scissors Word is an engaging educational programme designed specifically to help children learn, while having fun along the way. All words used are from the UK national curriculum. Rock paper scissors is a hand game originating in China, usually played between two people, in which each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with an outstretched hand. These shapes are "rock", "paper", and "scissors". Rock beats scissors and loses to paper. Scissors beat paper but loses to rock. Paper beats rock, but loses to scissors.
