Clap Catch

Clap Catch

Ball, Active, Circle

Time - Short (5-10 minutes)

Group Size - Small to medium. Large groups can result in circles that are too large to play with

Equipment Needed - A light, medium sized ball

The group stands in a circle. A ball is thrown between people, but the person catching must clap before they catch the ball. 

If they fail to clap or catch the ball, they “lose” a leg (kneel on one knee), then a 2nd leg (kneel or sit), then an arm (one arm behind their back), until they are eliminated for a 4th mistake.

Games usually do not last until one winner remains.

Variation

Players can earn limbs back on a successful catch
