Claps

One person is the leader and begins counting out loud: one, two, three, etc. The players and the leader clap their hands every time the leader says a number divisible by five. The leader tries to trick the players by sometimes clapping at the wrong time. Anyone who claps at the wrong time is eliminated, and the last person is the winner and gets to be the next clapper. For a more difficult version, try clapping at numbers divisible by three, four, seven, etc.
