Clapping hands
Rhythmic games with hands are all those games including different types of clapping, between two or more players, while singing a nursery rhyme and are an effective repertoire of activities involving voice and movement to be proposed to children. Every game can provide a didactic opportunity, it can become a microcosm, a sound toy in the sense shown by Gianni Rodari, where words, gesture, movement, body sounds, objects and instruments converge.
Work tools
Clapping hands games are at everyone’s disposal, they don’t need any equipment. This is their strength and here lies their educational effectiveness. They are multimedia without needing technology. Possible variations can be implemented with objects and tools of every kind, from traditional didactic tools, to rhythmic instruments and objects etc. …
