CAMPFIRE GAME.

EACH MEMBER SITTING IN A CIRCLE TAKES A NUMBER.
THEN IN UNISON EACH HITS HIS THIGHS WITH BOTH HANDS AND
THEN CLAPS TWICE. ONCE EVERYONE IS IN TIME
SOMEONE CALLS OUT HIS NUMBER WHILE HITTING HIS
THIGHS AND THEN CALLS SOMEONE ELSES WHILE CLAPPING HIS HANDS.
ON THE NEXT THIGH CLAP THE PERSON WHOSE NUMBER WAS CALLED
REPEATS THE PROCESS USING SOMEBODY ELSES NUMBER.
ANYONE MISSING A BEAT IS OUT.
