	Clap Snap Association
	Where are we?	Description
	This is a Game. It is in the following categories: Association Exercise Warm-up	How it Works This one is like a Free Association Circle , except that the rhythm is more explicit. Here's how to do the rhythm: each beat consists of 4 phases: Slap both hands on your thighs Clap your hands Snap your left hand fingers Snap your right hand fingers With every right hand snap, a word should be thrown to your neighbor. Once the rhythm is established, you can leave out the snaps - that'll make things more understandable. Variations You can use this for both Last Letter games or Free Association Circle . Try this with two circles. Have one circle associate freely, and another circle on Last Letter . Whenever a player misses a beat she should switch circles. Notes If you do this with 2 circles, you will probably find that the rhythms for both circles synchronize.
