HOW TO PLAY
1

One player, facing away from the group, plays a short rhythmic pattern on the instrument.

2

The rest of the group listens carefully and tries to clap the exact pattern back in unison.

3

The player checks whether the group's clapped pattern matches the original rhythm played.

4

If the group matches it correctly, a new player takes over playing the next rhythm; if not, the same player tries a variation.

5

The game continues with rhythms growing more complex as players get more comfortable listening and repeating.
