Method

The group stands in a circle.

The beginning player turns to someone beside them, makes eye contact and then they both clap at the same time.

One clap. One plosive sound. As one.

This continues around the circle.

LEVEL ONE - go as fast as you can without sacrificing precision.

LEVEL TWO - if eye contact is maintained then a second clap sends the impulse back the other way around the circle.

LEVEL THREE - You can also send a clap across the circle to someone opposite.

Teaching notes

Start slow. Dial in precision before anything else.

If it's a big group. Start more than one clap.

People will laugh at the fact it's called Pass the Clap. Be prepared for this.

You can use this as part of a larger triumvirate game such as Zip you clap .
