Programme 2: Building

Activities

Before the programme

  • Take the children on a ‘listening walk’ and discuss the sorts of sounds you hear along the way.

After the programme

  • With a child as the conductor, play the 'Follow the Finger' game. Try dividing the class into two groups and choose a different child to conduct each half.
  • Divide the class into two groups. With one half of the class keeping a steady beat (clapping or tapping their knees), get the other half to chant each of the Building Song rhythms over and over again. Swap over.
