There is no ‘correct’ order. This is a children’s game.
Hi mdenglish,
Maybe you mean the rules? Paper wraps rock, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper.
And what do most children call the game, Mr M?
Hi again
I brought the ‘correct’ order up because when children/adults play the game they say the name of the game aloud ‘rock-paper-scissors’. So if I could rephrase the question …Is it ok for one child/adult to say ‘rock-paper-scissors’ and for the other child/adult to say ’ rock-scissors-paper ’ when playing the game together. I am not familiar with that children’s game hence my question. I did some googling and I found out there is also another version called ‘rock-paper-scissors-shoot’

Thanks for helping me out here,

In terms of the just the name, the only way I’ve heard it called is “Rock, Paper, Scissors”.
“Let’s play Rock, Paper, Scissors”.
Although this is a children’s game, it’s can also be used amongst adults to settle an argument or make a decision. There’s been many a time we’ve assigned an unpopular task or duty by a quick game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors”.
Typically, if you loose the first game, you’ll try and protest, by claiming 'best 2 out of 3. Or at least that’s my strategy.
I’ve not personally heard the ‘shoot’ variation, but I suspect it’s just an extra filler to make sure everybody extends their choices at the same moment, without a delay to see what the others have chosen, and alter your choice…
Over here the children call it ‘jan-ken’ short for ‘jan-ken-pon’.
Hi mdenglish,
May I know where do you mean by ‘over here’?
Thanks a lot,
Nessie.
Hello Nessie
over here means ‘in this place’ ( dictionary.reference.com/search?q=over+here&r=66 )
