Clapping Game

In this excerpt, students demonstrate how to play the clapping game. The three rhythms that are used in this game are, Ta, Ti-Ti and Tika-Ti. Students must start on a Ta at which point it moves clockwise around the circle. Clapping a Ta keeps it going the same direction, Ti-Ti reverses it and Tika-Ti skips a person going the same direction. Students are out if the don't clap when they are supposed to, clap when they're not supposed to or their rhythms aren't accurate.
