Instructions

Who plays instruments? Who sings? Even in the shower? You are all musicians!
What music do you enjoy? What music do you enjoy singing/playing? School Plays etc?
Chat about Samba music – has anyone heard of it, what country is it from, what it is?

Rhythm Warm Up (20mins)
Split into 4 team (sixes). Leader starts marching to a beat. 2 of the sixes must clap on the left foot. 2 of the sixes must clap on the right foot. Once they have got that rhythm, one of the teams doing the left foot now must clap the same beat as the leader is clapping, whilst the others still clap the foot beat. Keep them going with that. Now one of the teams clapping the right foot claps a different rhythm that the leader gives. Try to keep them going with this keeping the rhythm. If they pick this up you can give another rhythm out, or swap around the rhythms.

Drinks percussion (10mins)
Get the cubs to think about simple beats.
They can use syllables of words to create beats
Tea – 1 syllable so 1 beat (TEA)
Coffee – 2 syllables so 2 claps (COF-fee)
Coca-Cola – 4 syllables so 4 claps (CO-ca-co-la)

Mix it up by getting them to do different patterns of the drinks
eg.
Tea-Coffee-CocaCola Tea-coffee-coffee-tea CocaCola-Cocacola etc

Instruments (20mins)
Stand in circle with instrument each.
Low instruments do tea tea tea tea (simple 4/4 beat)

All march in time with leader and do their bits, leader will bring each section in like a round.
As well as marching they must do a call and response. Leader calls with whistle a beat, and they must respond in the appropriate way.
