One Two Three Four

How it Works

Ok, this is harder to explain than it is to play. This game is a repetition of 4 movements:

  • 1 : touch your head with both hands
  • 2 : touch your shoulders with both hands
  • 3 : touch your hips with both hands
  • 4 : slap right foot with right hand

We repeat this 10 times, as follows:

  • just say 1,2,3,4 - no movements, do this twice
  • touch your head (on '1' but don't say '1') and say 2,3,4. Repeat twice.
  • touch head (on '1') touch shoulders (on '2', but don't say '1' or '2'). Follow by 3,4, spoken. Repeat twice
  • touch head, touch shoulders, touch hips (on the rhythm on 1,2,3, but don't say 1,2,3). Say '4'. Repeat twice
  • touch head, shoulders, hips, slap foot. Don't say anything but stay in the rhythm and repeat twice

Then just start all over again by saying 1,2,3,4 twice.

Increase tempo as you go along.
