When you applaud, it’s like giving a big, happy hug with your hands. Imagine your hands are talking, saying “Yay!“ or “Great job!“ without using words. It’s a way to show someone you’re really excited about what they did. Like when you see a friend do a cool trick, you clap your hands together to say, “Wow, that was awesome!”
Think of clapping like a high-five from far away. You know how you give a high-five when someone does something amazing? Well, applause is like giving lots of high-fives all at once. Your hands make a fun noise that tells everyone, “I like what you did!”
Applauding can also be like a happy dance for your hands. When you’re super happy and want to show it, your hands start clapping together. It’s like your hands can’t stay still because they want to celebrate too! So, whenever you clap your hands, you’re spreading joy and making others feel good about what they’ve done.
