HANDS DOWN - Short Lesson
By:re
This game can be played on the ground, on a table, anywhere that is flat and big enough to fit all of your buddies. Everyone intertwines their hands, palms facing downwards and you are all in a circle. Introduce the game by explaining the hand motions. A palm-down slap on the table = a move in the clockwise direction, one hand. A palm-down slap done twice = skip the hand next to your hand. A palm on its side = reverse direction. Play this really fast. Anyone who makes a mistake must take their hands out of the game. The last surviving person is the hands down champion!
