Programme 1: Anansi, Cat and Rat

Programme Outline

After an animal sounds game, Okey Cokey sings the story song about Anansi, Cat and Rat, with animation. A fiddle player demonstrates plucking and bowing. Her sounds are used for a listening game, in which the viewers are asked to respond. Children explore sounds on their own plucking instruments made from 'found' materials and try out some dance ideas, before joining in with a final performance of the song.
