Materials Needed

• For outdoor version:
  • Glow in the dark sidewalk chalk
  • Bucket or large bowl (for tracing circles)
  • String and scissors (to mark a grid)
  • Twister spinner or spinner app

  • Glow in the dark paint or glow in the dark stickers (in red, blue, yellow, and green)

Outdoor Setup Instructions

1. Pick a flat surface like a sidewalk or driveway. Make sure it is clean and dry.
2. Use the string and scissors to lay out a grid with 4 rows and 5 columns.
3. Use the bucket to trace circles inside the grid with glow in the dark chalk.
4. Make each row a different color: red, blue, yellow, and green.
5. Let the chalk sit for a few minutes to dry and glow better.
6. When ready, bring everyone to the game area and explain the rules.

Indoor Setup Instructions

1. Lay out the Twister mat on a flat surface in a darkened room.
2. Use glow in the dark paint or stickers to cover the circles on the mat. Match the Twister colors.
3. Let the paint dry completely before playing.
4. Use a black light or turn off the lights to make the circles glow.
5. Get the spinner or app ready. Explain the rules to the players.

Gameplay Instructions (Both Versions)

1. Pick one person to be the spinner.
2. The spinner calls out a color and body part (for example, “Right hand, red”).
3. All players must place that body part on one of the glowing circles in that color.
4. Players cannot put a hand or foot on the same circle as another player.
5. Players must keep all other body parts off the ground.
6. If a player falls or touches the ground, they are out.
7. The last person left in the game is the winner.

Additional Notes

• For large groups, use multiple mats indoors or draw extra grids outdoors.
• Consider having boys and girls play on separate mats.
• To make the game harder, remove some circles after a few rounds.
• Always play in a safe area free from obstacles or sharp objects.
• Do not play on slippery or uneven surfaces.
• Players should wear comfortable clothes and remove shoes if needed.
• Remind players to move slowly and be careful when stretching.
