Shoulders - Special Slaps

Special Slaps

Special Slaps occur at a predetermined number to increase difficulty and creativity to the game.

  • Common numbers for special slaps are:
    • 7,10,17,20 & 21
      • They usually occur in pairs (7&17)(10&20)
  • Common S.S's are:
    • Point (10)/Double Point (20)= A player points to the person to go next while calling out the correct number
      • The pointer CAN pick players NOT to their immediate left/right.
    • High Cross(7)/Low Cross(17)= A player overlaps their arms (think like a genie but with space between)and depending on whether it is a high/low cross that predetermined hand indicates which player (to his left/right) continues.
      • The current slapper can only go to his immediate left/right w/ the high/low cross
  • If the game is set to end with a special slap, the player counting off 21 must act out the special slap even though there is no 22.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or slaps:

    The treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Thumbs grow into my throat.
    I wear slaps like a spot of rouge.
