Editing Counting-out game (section)

==Examples==
Several simple games can be played to select one person from a group, either as a straightforward winner, or as someone who is eliminated. [[Rock paper scissors|Rock, Paper, Scissors]], [[Odds and evens (hand game)|Odd or Even]] and Blue Shoe require no materials and are played using hand gestures, although with the former it is possible for a player to win or lose through skill rather than luck. [[Coin flipping]] and [[drawing straws]] are fair methods of randomly determining a player. [[Fizz Buzz]] is a spoken word game where if a player slips up and speaks a word out of sequence, they are eliminated.
