HOW TO PLAY
1

Players stand waist-deep in water, spaced a few feet apart.

2

The leader claps a short splash pattern using cupped hands against the water's surface.

3

Everyone copies the pattern, striking the water to produce a matching rhythmic sound.

4

The leader introduces new patterns, layering claps, slaps, and scoops for different tones.

5

Take turns leading so each player gets to invent a pattern for the group to echo.
