Hand clapping games

It is fabulous to see, even in this time of internet, Disney+, netflix, etc that hand clapping games can still provide so much joy and entertainment. Miss Mary Mack is over 130 years old, and still is a hoot! My kids and I had a really fun morning learning some new hand-clapping songs, as well as me teaching them my favorites from my own childhood. Here are some for you to learn:


Sarasponda

Ah-say pah-say O
