• Make a list of vegetables. Divide them into categories according to the number of syllables in the word.

After the programme

• Create voice patterns by combining different vegetable names such as ‘parsnip potato, parsnip potato’ or ‘cucumber and carrots, cucumber and carrots’. Divide the class into two groups and set a different pattern off in each group.
• Ask groups of children to create their own ‘vegetable soup’ music, adding body percussion to match the words.
