Danish Clapping<\/span><\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

One of those games that is hard to explain in writing but if you see it played it makes sense honest!<\/p>\n

This is played in pairs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stand facing your partner and clap your hands together at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now choose from one of three positions; arms in the air, arms to the left or arms to the right.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Now clap your hands in the middle again.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rhythm is clap, move arms, clap, move arms, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are not trying to mirror your partner but you are moving at the same time as them. Sometimes your moves will match up, sometimes they won’t.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

If you happen to mirror them when you throw out your arms (i.e. their arms go up when yours do), clap as normal, then celebrate with a high 10 and say “YEAH!”, clap again and go back into throwing your arms out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purpose<\/h2>\n

This game throws out lots of mini-mistakes, but by keeping playing the game we learn to laugh off those mini-mistakes and we find ourselves in a state of playful joy!<\/p>\n
