another child's
handgame. participants sit in a
circle, each laying their
right hand atop their
neighbor's left (both players face
palms up) until the entire
circle has hands overlapping with all
lefts underneath and all
rights on top. the starter begins to sing the song and 'slaps' the next player's hand on the first 'down'. on each
beat afterwards, the
slap is passed on. on the final beat "POW!" the player who has the slap tries as hard to 'catch' in time the next in the chain. if they hit the other's hand, the hit player is
out. if they
miss, the
slapper is out. the song then
resumes until one player is left the winner.
Down, down, baby,
down by the roller coaster,
sweet, sweet baby,
i don't wanna let ya go,
chewy chewy coconut,
chewy chewy POW!
