Rock the Beat

Players build a steady beat by slapping thighs and clapping hands to the rhythm of a well-known stomp-and-clap song. Each player is dealt a card that assigns a hand-signal (antlers, thumbs-up, thumb-to-nose, etc.). As the beat proceeds, players replace the clap with their own signal and then call another player’s symbol in sequence. The targeted player must respond on the next beat and then pass a new signal to someone else. Mistakes or missed responses cause card exchanges that add symbols to players’ queues, increasing difficulty as the round continues. The game tests timing, memory, and quick reactions.
