Invent your own Hand-Clapping

Ever have a bunch of kids together during the summer and need something fun to do?  Here's my next idea: have each pair of 2 or 4 kids (or kid with adult) invent their own 8-count hand-clapping pattern and practice it.  Then, choose some upbeat music and show it off (with some skipping around on the chorus.)

I think I may pull this out with my primary music class at church, or perhaps if we have some spare time in Let's Play Music class this fall.  Hand clapping games are very popular with Four White Horses, a song we did in Sound Beginnings music class for toddlers last fall, so if you know that one, you really must play some hand-clapping with your child.
