About Rock Paper Scissors
Your child picks rock, paper or scissors, and Oomi picks too. Both fists shake three times, then open at once to show the hands. A star pops up for a round won and a handshake for a tie, and the first to the winning score takes the match.
How to play
- Tap rock, paper or scissors on one of the three big buttons.

- On a computer, press 1, 2 or 3 to pick a hand.
