PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE 
I happened to come across this Ghanaian hand clap game while i was scrolling YouTube videos of children's recreational rhymes and singing games.

I'd love to know more about this hand clap game.

What is its name and how is it played?

Is this hand game traditional to Ghana, West Africa?

Is this game or a similar game played in other countries besides Ghana? If so, in what other countries is this game (or a similar game played?) 

Is this game usually played by girls only or is it usually played by girls and boys together?
 
Does this hand game have a song that is sung or chanted while doing the hand claps and the other hand motions? If so, what are the words to that song? [Original language and English translation, please)

What are the usual ages for those who play this game?
 
Do you remember playing this game? If so when (year or decade) and where did you first learn this game?
