The Viking

Step 1

Stand in a circle. One person starts of by shouting 'MJOLNER!!' while making an angry face, a downwards “O” with both arms and bends the knees. The rest of the group follows by copying the movement and the shout.

Step 2

The MJOLNER-initiator starts air-punching the person to his/her left or right making a loud “HUH” sound. The receiver copies this in the same direction. The receiver’s neighbor can do the same or choose to throw a spell across the middle of the circle to any other group member. This happens by raising the hands above the head and throwing an imaginary item to that person while shouting “ TUNGUR KNIVUR!’.

The receiver across the circle may either continue with a “HUH” or “ TUNGUR KNIVUR!’. or, he/she may reject the spell, by raising his hands in the air and making a roof shape while shouting “PAKKA PER!”

Any time a receiver hesitates or uses the wrong words, he or she is out of the game.

After a person is kicked out, anyone can start the game again with a new cry of “MJOLNER!” The last person standing is the winner of the game.
