Clap Snap Association

How it Works

This one is like a Free Association Circle , except that the rhythm is more explicit. Here's how to do the rhythm: each beat consists of 4 phases:

  • Slap both hands on your thighs
  • Clap your hands
  • Snap your left hand fingers
  • Snap your right hand fingers
With every right hand snap, a word should be thrown to your neighbor. Once the rhythm is established, you can leave out the snaps - that'll make things more understandable.

Variations

  • You can use this for both Last Letter games or Free Association Circle .
  • Try this with two circles. Have one circle associate freely, and another circle on Last Letter . Whenever a player misses a beat she should switch circles.

Notes

If you do this with 2 circles, you will probably find that the rhythms for both circles synchronize.
