Sync Claps
Sync Claps is an engaging activity designed to enhance focus and alignment within a group. Participants form a circle and pass a clap around, gradually increasing speed and complexity to foster connection and attentiveness.
How to run it
- 1
Have the group stand in a circle.
- 2
One participant begins by clapping hands with their neighbor while making eye contact.
- 3
Continue passing the clap around the circle, encouraging synchronization and increasing speed.
- 4
Once the group is comfortable, introduce a double clap where pairs must decide non-verbally whether to clap once or twice, reversing the direction of the clap.
Tips
Encourage participants to stay focused to enhance synchronization.
Use the experience of struggling with the double clap to discuss group dynamics and communication.
Adapt the pace of the claps based on the group's comfort level.
Variations
To add a twist, incorporate different sounds or gestures instead of claps to keep the energy high and introduce new challenges.
