Submitter comment:
THIS IS A HAND RHYTHMIC GAME WHERE YOU CLAP HANDS, THEN
CLAP ON YOUR TWO THIGHS TOGETHER. THEN YOU ALTERNATE
CLAPPING HANDS TOGETHER, THEN CLAP WITH THE RIGHT HAND
WITH THE SAME HAND OF YOUR PARTNER, THEN HANDS TOGETHER,
THEN LEFT HAND WITH PARTNER. CONTINUE TILL THE END OF
THE RHYME.
