Matthew Matthew One One

Team building games, Relaxing games, Camp games

Players are numbered off: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.
Matthew sits in the super chair. This person starts clapping, two claps on legs, two claps with fists (more quiet)
Matthew starts by saying "Matthew Matthew, Number Number" where number is the number or book that he/she send it to, say five. Then Five says "Five Five, Two Two" .
Just say someone makes a mistake or fouls - i.e. gets out of rhythm, says the person next to them, says the person who sent it to them, claps incorrectly, speeks out of place. - Then they stand up and goes down to the lowest number. everyone below that person stands up and moves up one number so that thier number changes.
The aim of the game is to get to matthew and stay there.

Variations -
1. Matthew can speed up the rhythm every time it get back to them.
2. If someone sends it back to whoever sent it to them both are in a lock, they must keep on sending it to each other until someone makes a mistake/fouls.
