SHAKE & STOP
What are we building?
We are developing careful listening skills as the children play their instruments and stop at the correct time in the song. With practise, children will become more confident singing along as they explore the sounds their instrument can make.
Once the children can sing the song confidently, encourage them to copy you in feeling the steady beat as they play their instruments (see video 2). Vary the instruments used, e.g. ‘tap and stop’ or ‘scrape and stop’. Children may also enjoy exploring body movements, e.g. ‘wiggle and stop’ or ‘jump and stop’.
