# Exact text and tactile alternative · optional original cue

The [WAV file](tap-clap-pattern.wav) contains six **synthetic, non-speech** cues in this exact order:

1. TAP — a short low click.
2. CLAP — a longer noise burst.
3. TAP — same short click.
4. CLAP — same longer burst.
5. TAP — same short click.
6. CLAP — same longer burst.

The full repeating unit is **TAP–CLAP**. It occurs three times. The next two cues would be TAP, CLAP. Pauses simply separate cues; their duration and musical timing are **not** assessed. This audio is an optional second representation of the same pattern in [Day 177](../LESSONS.md). A child can instead point to six broad TAP/CLAP word cards, feel alternating smooth/ridged broad cards, draw two distinct marks, sign the words or direct an adult to make the cues. Adult-made sound can replace the file. No listening, speaking, clapping, motor timing or online access is required.
