Instructions

1. Clap your hands in a pattern and encourage the children to try to follow the pattern. An example would be to clap two times fast and two times slow, then wait for the children to respond.

2. Extend the pattern by stomping your feet, snapping your fingers, or clapping on other parts of your body such as your head or knees.

3. Once the children become familiar with the activity, let them take turns leading the pattern.
