Tinko Tinko
Also known as Tinko
A rhythmic partner hand-clapping game that builds through 10 increasingly fast sequences.
How to play
Two players face each other and begin a clapping routine in a specific ascending order: clap own hands, cross-clap partner's right hand, clap own hands, cross-clap partner's left hand, then both.
The sequence builds through 10 parts, each segment adding a new move while maintaining all previous ones.
Players sing or chant 'Tinko, Tinko, Tinko' to keep pace.
The tempo increases with each completed sequence.
A player who misses a beat or breaks the pattern must go back to sequence 1. Successfully completing all 10 sequences without error is the win.
Keep it fair
Agree the exact 10-step sequence before you start, if anyone is unsure of a move, walk through it slowly first so there is no dispute mid-game.
