Players put their hand together, pointed them at the other player, and hit the back of fingers like a fishtail* My name is... (hit left, hit right, hit left) *Then players joined left hands like for a hand shake and would hit back of hands, above hands, back of hands, below hands* Kay-nine-piccolo, Piccolo-kay-nine, Humbleberry, Wadalada-wutchki, chinese chopsticks *hands break apart- one hand goes up one hand goes down* says *Clap both hands together with the other person* Chow *No clapping* What's his name?- asks whoever was singing. Answer is Chow.
