What to do today

Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Not all of the activities are for everyone, so just do the ones you enjoy and as many times as you like.

Play along using any kind of instrument or use body percussion – clapping, tapping, clicking, stamping your feet.

  1. Hello Song
  2. Bounce and catch
  3. Yoshi Whoops!. Watch the video first to see how to play the game. Then you can get a soft toy and instruments to join in.
  4. Instruments: What can you find that sounds like rain?
  5. The Rainstorm sound story: Copy the actions and sounds to tell the story of a rainstorm
  6. The Wind Blows East: Join in with the sounds and signs for this song. Also join in with the sounds and actions from the Rainstorm Sound Story, which go well with the song.

Hello Song

More ideas with this video

  • If you can’t tap along, maybe a friend can tap your arm or foot for you so that you can feel the beat of the music.
  • Can you stamp your feet to the music? Can you tap your shoulders or your head? Move your fingers
  • Maybe try playing along with a shaker, or tap something that makes a sound that you like. A box of cereal?

Hello everyone and welcome to Singalong!

Join in with all the songs and leave a comment with your favourite song.

Before we start, let’s warm up with this fabulous piece of music.  Clap your hands and move around your room in time with the music.  Try and really feel the music as you move in time. Radetsky March by Johann Strauss.
