Bored at Home? Try this Concentration Game to Build Focus with Kids

Instructions for the game:
1) Get into groups from 7-14 people (Obviously right now it will be a smaller group lol)

2) Everyone number off. (everyone should have a different #)

3) Using a four beat rhythm, count of saying “Concentration following the rhythm concentration now begin .” (keep the beat by slapping both hands on lap as first beat, clapping for the second beat, and snapping fingers for the third and fourth beats)

4) After the sound off the leader will call his number then another number on the snaps.

5) The second number called responds by calling his number then another number on the next set of snaps. This continues until someone falls out of rhythm. This game can be played as long as interest remains.


– So they will match the hand clapping rhythm to the rhyme which are both in bold above, after the rhyme they will try to continue the hand clapping while doing the number pattern.

Please refer to this video as the main example:
