ACTIVITIES GOALS
sing action songs where body movement accompany certain words

sing at different but constant tempi

do things on the beat - eg pass a bag or instrument, clap or stamp

as above but in groups - on group claps another stamps etc

differentiate between strong & weak beats - stamp on strong & clap on weak etc (POP GOES THE WEASEL)

tap one phrase of song as ostinato throughout

take turns giving bar for nothing

singing with correct rhythm/pulse/metre
NOTES
use walking on the spot
not too much unpitched percussion
guess the metre of songs
show notation for simple metres on cards
use cards to signal improvistion in that metre
