Concentration

There is something about the clapping and chanting


rhythm of this game that used to keep my school friends
and I occupied for hours! Best played with kids of the
same age, or the game will be unequal.

Age: 6+

The children sit in a circle and take a number each,


starting with 1.
They then start a chant by slapping their thighs twice
then clapping their hands twice and saying
Concentration
(slap slap clap clap)
Are you ready?
(slap slap clap clap)
If - so (slap slap clap clap)
Lets - go!
(slap slap clap clap)
Then player 1, continuing the rhythm, says her own
number twice followed by another number. For example:
1, 1, 4, 4

(slap slap clap clap)


Player 4 then does the same, starting with their own
number and following with someone else's:
4, 4, 7, 7
(slap slap clap clap)
Anybody who makes a mistake or fails to keep the rhythm
is eliminated but remains in the circle, making it more
difficult for the other players who must remember not
to use the eliminated persons number! As the play
progresses you can speed up the rhythm slightly too, to
try to catch the better players out.
When there are only 2 or 3 players left, change the
numbers and start a new game, or try a variation using
colours or animal names instead of numbers.
