Another question from Isla. She has apparently disclosed that her own favourite is the “egg clap” in which you make your hands into egg shapes (fists?) and tap them together. I thought this deserved a clapping game. With a zen twist.
High clap, high clap
Reach up tall
Low clap, low clap
Reach down small
Side clap, side clap
Side to side
Thinking clap
That’s just inside.
Egg clap, egg clap
Hands like eggs
Leg clap, leg clap
On your legs
Tiny clap
With just our thumbs
Bottom clap
Upon our bums
Noisy, noisy
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Quiet, quiet
(Tap tap tap)
Floor clap, floor clap
On the ground
One hand clap
That makes no sound.
(Or does it?)
