Clapping games are extremely helpful to develop children's hand-eye coordination and rhythm. It also will help with their listening skills, as well as helping children with listening in order to follow instructions.
Hand clapping songs are a great and easy way to learn the song that accompanies the movements and also to learn about the culture of the different English Speaking countries.
This week in Second Grade we have learnt a very popular nursery rhyme and clapping game called "A sailor went to sea". It is common to see children playing this game (which is originally from Birmingham) on playgrounds.
Here you can see one of the classes having fun while practising the song! Of course we used our hydroalcoholic gel before and after the clapping song 😊
