In pairs, people alternate counting one, two, three until it has a rhythm, then replace 'one' with a clap or a stamp, then 'two', then 'three', until the count is entirely gesture. Simple to describe and hard to hold, because the pattern has to be kept while the words fall away.

Hold with care
  • The sheet's final variation eliminates players who get the sequence wrong, which singles out whoever is struggling most
