HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit or stand in a circle, each with a surface to tap in front of them.

2

The leader starts a simple tapping pattern and the player to their left repeats it back.

3

The pattern passes around the circle, with each player copying exactly what the last player played.

4

Every full lap around the circle, the leader adds one more beat to the pattern.

5

A player who breaks the pattern steps back to watch, and the circle continues until one player remains.
