Coordination Game

A very simple, yet tricky movement coordination game in which keeping rhythm is important.

AIM

The game develops movement coordination with a very simple tool, but at the same time it also focuses on keeping the rhythm, and also improving concentration.

Description

The participants stand up, alternately clapping and stamping during the game.
First we start with ten claps – then ten stamps (with alternating legs).
This is followed by 9 claps – 9 stamps…, etc. up to 1 clap – 1 stamp.
Here, however, the game does not end, but turns back!
Then one more clap-stamp up to 10 movements again.
