How to play

1. Stand in a circle.
2. One person claps toward someone and says "zip".
3. That person claps toward anyone else and says "zap". The next says "zop", then back to "zip".
4. Keep the order zip-zap-zop going. Speed up as the group gets it.
5. Wrong word or hesitation and that person steps out — or just laughs and carries on, if you would rather nobody is eliminated.

Variations

• Skip elimination entirely and just see how long the group can hold the rhythm.
