Participants are sitting in a circle. This game can be played at a big table or on the ground. We chose the latter way.

Everyone has to make themselves comfortable, and put their hands in front of the people sitting next to, forming a cross with the hands of the „neighbours”.

Someone starts the running with clap once on the ground. The running is continuing through the order of the hands on the ground and goes to one direction. ((For instance: my left hand, my left neighbour’s right h., my right neighbour’s left h., my right hand ))

After that we can add the next „level” as clapping two after each other quickly – this means that we are changing the direction of the running.

The „following level” is the movement of hitting the ground once with a clenched fist – it means an obstacle that has to be jumped over; so the following hand mustn’t do anything, it’s his/her neighbour’s turn to continue the running.

The running is monotonous. If someone misses the turn or misses the rythm, the „wrong hand” is eliminated from the game and the player has to put that hand behind his/her back.
