Ripple Clap

Instructions

1. Get in a circle

Gather everyone into a circle, standing or sitting comfortably.

2. Start the clap

  • The teacher or a student kicks things off with a single clap.
  • The next person in the circle claps, passing it along.

3. Speed it up

Try to make the clap travel faster around the circle.

4. Add some flair

  • Introduce double claps—pass two claps in quick succession.
  • Switch directions unexpectedly to keep everyone on their toes.
  • Have multiple claps traveling at the same time! Can the circle stay in sync without missing a beat?
