Hands up to Eighty-five

This is a singing and clapping game where the object is not to
hesitate. You pick a topic such as cars, colors, or names that
start with "R". It goes like this: Hands up to eighty-five going
to get names of cars.. no hesitation, no dimitration so let's go.
The first person says a car, then the second and so on, all the
time the clapping in rhythm. If you don't say a car in time you
are out, the game goes on until one person is left.
