Because when I growing up, everyone played it as Rock, Paper, Scissors. And now my students keep telling me I'm wrong when I say it out of order.

Always known it as Rock Paper Scissors.
It's cyclical order in what beats what. Rock > Paper > Scissors > Rock, etc.

The order Rock Scissors Paper disrupts that flow.

Rock breaks scissors; scissors cut papers; paper covers rock.

Yeah, that last one is a bit weak, but who are you going to complain to...?


As far as the name goes, it's definitely Rock-Paper-Scissors to me (in Melbourne, Australia) but depending on the individual 'contest rules' you might chant "paper, scissors, rock" with your choice reveled on "rock". I suppose just because it works better with that single-syllable word as a signal.

When you've only got three elements in the cycle, changing the order doesn't actually disrupt the flow, just reverses it.

Rock < Paper < Scissors < Rock

Rock > Scissors > Paper > Rock
