Circle Game - Confusion (Slap - Slap)

Equipment

None

How to Play

Players lie on their stomachs with their arms and hands comfortably in front of them.  As the picture illustrates, arms are overlapped so that each player will have a neighbour’s hand between theirs.  For one player in front of them would be the following patter.  My LEFT hand, then the person my left’s RIGHT hand, then the person on my right’s LEFT hand, then my RIGHT hand, and so on.  Start with one player who slaps the floor with a hand, the next hand must slap the floor in sequence.  If a player misses their slap or slaps before their turn they lose that hand from the game. The last player with a hand in the game in the winner.

Circle games are easy to monitor, everyone is on equal ground (no front of back of the line), everyone can see and hear each other, and of course they are a lot of fun. Some traditional circle games are included in this resource but most of the games are new and original. Schools, camps, and other group settings are ideal for the many wonderful games found in this resource.
