Tapping or clapping out names.

Tambourine

Re-cap on last session by choosing a few children to clap out their names. We will then move around the circle and ask children to clap/tap out a friend's name. We can talk about the different number of claps in children's names - eg:
1 clap = Sam
2 claps = Lucy
3 claps = Abigail

How many children have one, two or three claps in their names?

To end the session I will ask a child to choose a name to clap out but the name must not be said out loud. The other children have to guess whose name is being clapped out by the number of claps given.

Does the child:

Clap/tap out a friend's name?
