12 Hand Clapping Games (Lyrics + Video Tutorials!)

Apples on a stick,

Make me sick,

Makes my heart go,

2-4-6.

Not because I’m dirty,

Not because I’m clean,

Just because I read it in a magazine.

Dogs, frogs,

Having fun

Here comes a cat

With a super loud hum.

It can quibble, it can squabble.

It can even do the splits.

But I betcha ten dollars,

That it can’t do this.

Close your eyes,

And count to ten.

If you mess it up

You’re a spunky funky hen.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

You didn’t mess it up

So you’re my best friend!

Concentration 64

No repeats

Or hesitation

I go first

You go second

Category is…

[Pick a category! Fruits, Superheroes, Harry Potter…]

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake

Baker's man

Bake me a cake

As fast as you can

Roll it, pat it and mark it with a "b"

And put it in the oven for baby and me

Double, double, this, this

Double, double, that, that

Double this, double that

Double, double, this, that

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack

All dressed in black, black, black

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons

Up and down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother

For fifty cents, cents, cents,

To see the elephants, elephants, elephants,

Jump the fence, fence, fence.

They jumped so high, high, high,

They touched the sky, sky, sky,

And they never came back, back, back,

To the Fourth of July, ly, ly.

This hand clapping game doesn't have any lyrics! Just keep increasing the number of claps in each round to go as high as you can.

Tweet, twee lee lee

Rockin' in the tree top

All day long

Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and singing his song

All the little birdies on Jaybird Street

Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin’ robin

Tweet, twee lee lee

Rockin’ robin

Tweet, twee lee lee

Go rockin’ robin

’Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight

Tic tac toe

Give me an X

Give me an O

Give me three in a row

[Don’t get shot by a UFO]

Lemonade

Crunchy ice

Beat it once

Beat it twice

Lemonade

Crunchy ice

Beat it once

Beat it twice

Turn around [players turn around]

Touch the ground [players touch the ground]

Kick your boyfriend out of town [players kick legs out]

FREEZE

Elevator one says STOP

Elevator two says STOP

Elevator three says

Keep on going 'till your palms get sweaty and hot

A sailor went to sea sea sea,

To see what he could see see see.

But all that he could see see see,

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea.

A sailor went to chop chop chop,

To see what he could chop chop chop.

But all that he could chop chop chop,

Was the bottom of the deep blue chop chop chop.

A sailor went to knee knee knee,

To see what he could knee knee knee.

But all that he could knee knee knee,

Was the bottom of the deep blue knee knee knee.

A sailor went to sea chop knee,

To see what he could sea chop knee.

But all that he could sea chop knee,

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea chop knee.

Bo bo see otten totten

Nay Nay I am boom boom boom

Itty bitty otten totten

Bo bo see otten totten

Bo bo see otten totten
