Warm-ups

Zip Zap Zop

Players stand in a circle. One player starts by clapping and pointing to either their left or right neighbor:

  • Clap left: say 'Zip'
  • Clap right: say 'Zap'

The receiving player continues, choosing left or right. At any point, a player can clap toward the person who just sent to them and say 'Zop' — this bounces it back.

Advanced: Add 'Boing' (hands up to block and reverse), 'Freakout' (everyone screams and runs to a new spot), or other custom rules.

This classic warm-up trains reactions, focus, and group energy.
