How do you play Clap Numbers?
Count off so everyone has a number. Then keep a rhythm together:
- slap your thighs
- clap your hands
- right hand over your right shoulder – say your own number
- left hand over your left shoulder – say someone else’s number
The player called continues on the next beat. Whoever slips up, claps wrong, raises the wrong hand or hesitates drinks. Once everyone knows the numbers: count off again or use names instead.
