ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clapping game

Yes, of course, I can explain the clapping game to you like you're 5 years old!

So, a clapping game is like a fun game you can play with your friends where you clap your hands together in a certain way while you sing a song or say some words.

You can start by standing in front of your friend and then clapping your hands together once, then you and your friend can start clapping your hands in a pattern while saying a rhyme, a song or a chant.

For example, you could say "Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black" and whenever you say "Mack, Mack, Mack" you and your friend could clap hands, then repeat the pattern with different words.

The important thing is to keep the rhythm going with the clapping and the words. It's a great way to have fun with your friends and learn about timing, rhythm, and teamwork.
