Q. Can one play hand clapping games with children or adults?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”’a opinion is that it is better to avoid them since although it is a game done voluntarily, and usually it avoids hurting one another, it still involves hitting one another and sometimes that could be violent and painful.
Besides the inherent idea of clapping one another should be avoided even in a game
