Activity: Pat, Pat, Clap, Clap


Let's Get Started:
1. Set up a face-to-face partnership with two children.

2. Teach the children to pat their thighs twice and then clap their hands twice.

3. When the children are comfortable with those motions, add a cross clap with their partner (child claps partner’s right hand with his right hand then repeat with the left hands). The activity would then include pat, pat, clap, clap, cross-clap, cross clap.

If using POCET, this Activity correlates to Developmental Guideline: PH1 Demonstrates Eye-Hand Coordination.
