Receiver Right Clap | |||
Where are we? | Description | ||
This is a Game. It is in the following categories:
|
How it Works Nice concentration and warmup exercise. All players in a circle. Players can throw a 'clap' to any other player by pushing their hands together in front of their chest (like a praying gesture), and then pushing both hands towards the receiving player, opening up their arms as they do so. Sending a 'clap' makes a 'Whoof' sound; receiving a clap makes a sucking sound. The receiver receives the clap by making the inverse gesture, and uttering a sucking sound. Once a clap is received, the player to the right of the receiver sends a new clap to any other player. And so one. Once everyone's got it, switch to left-hand side player of the receiver to send the next clap. Variations If all players are really concentrating, and this game goes particularly well, try 'skipping' a neighbor. E.g. the second player to the left of the receiver sends the next clap. | ||
