Cho-co-la-te
Jun. 27th, 2024 05:36 pmI love hand-clapping games; they're such a wonderful example of truly folk transmission through the generations.
While I was visiting my friends in Leticia, two of the kids were doing one. The rhyme went
Choco, choco
la, la,
choco, choco
te, te,
choco-la
choco-te
chocolate!
You clapped sometimes with the palms of your hands and sometimes with the backs of your hands--it was great!
When I got back to Medellín, at one point Wakanomori and I passed a line of people waiting for pancakes at a pop-up pancake event. In the line was a girl who was teaching this rhyme to her dad.
Do you have any hand-clapping games you remember doing, or seeing others do, when you were younger?
