Zip Zap

Have players stand in a circle. Explain that the aim is to pass an imaginary lightning bolt around the circle. To pass the bolt, players clap their hands to the left or right and say 'zip' out loud. The direction can be clockwise or anti-clockwise, and can be changed at any time by the next player sending the bolt directly back. Players can also say 'zap' and point both hands across the circle. The player pointed at continues the game from their position. Facilitator tip: If someone 'zips' when they are not supposed to, or is delayed responding, they are either eliminated or you simply start a new game. As players become more familiar with Zip Zap it gets faster and more exciting, so allow a number of rounds to occur.
