MATERIALS
- Four long bamboo poles or PVC pipes
- Something sturdy to rest poles on, like low blocks
HOW TO PLAY
1
Two pairs kneel at the ends of two poles each, arranged to form a crisscrossing square pattern on the ground.
2
On a steady count, all four poles are clapped together and then opened apart in unison.
3
A dancer steps and hops through the shifting gaps between the poles while they open and close.
4
The clapping pattern speeds up gradually, requiring quicker footwork from the dancer.
5
If the dancer's foot gets caught, they step out and a new dancer takes over for the next attempt.
