Hip Hop

1. Around the 'circle' students count upwards from one, each student saying one number. However; if a number is divisible by three, they say 'Hip' instead of the number. The sequence would begin: 'one, two, hip, four, five, hip, seven, eight, hip, ten'
2. Continue until each student has had two or three turns, or until there is little hesitation and few mistakes.
3. As a variation insert a different word for all multiples of 3 and 5 (or any other two small numbers you choose), so that if a number is divisible by 3, students say 'hip', and if it is divisible by 5, they say 'hop'. Counting from one to ten would then produce the sequence: 'one, two, hip, four, hop, hip, seven, eight, hip, hop' The number fifteen would be 'hip hop'.
