PAT A CAKE
"Pat-a-cake” is one of the oldest and most widely known Nursery Rhymes.
The
rhyme is often accompanied by hand-clapping between two people, a
clapping game.
It alternates between a normal individual clap with two-handed claps
with the other person. The hands may be crossed as well. This allows
for a possibly complex sequence of clapping that must be coordinated
between the two. If told by a parent to a child, the "B"
and "baby" in the last two lines are sometimes replaced by
the child's first initial and first
name.
