HOW TO PLAY
1
Everyone forms a circle facing inward, standing shoulder to shoulder.
2
A leader starts a simple clapping pattern combined with a step in and a step out of the circle, and the group copies it in unison.
3
Every few rounds the leader calls out a new pattern (double claps, a spin, a stamp) that the whole circle must pick up without missing a beat.
4
Anyone who claps out of rhythm or misses the new pattern sits out for one round while the circle continues.
5
The game keeps speeding up the pattern changes until only a small group of sharpest followers remains.
