Hand jive

Hand jive is a fun way to move your hands in a special way to music. It's like doing a secret handshake, but instead of using your whole body, you just use your hands.

To start doing hand jive, here's what you can do:

1. Hold your hands out in front of you as if you're about to clap.
2. Clap your right hand against your left hand.
3. Bring your hands down and cross your wrists.
4. Clap your right hand against the back of your left hand.
5. Uncross your hands and clap your left hand against your right hand.
6. Cross your wrists again, but this time with your left wrist on top.
7. Clap your left hand against the back of your right hand.
8. Uncross your hands and start back at step 1.

Once you get the hang of it, you can start adding more movements and make it even fancier. You can move your hands up and down, make a circle with your fingers, or do a pop sound with your mouth. The possibilities are endless!

With hand jive, you can have fun and show off your cool moves to your friends. It's a great way to get moving and try something new.
