Twinkle Twinkle Fun

Find a ball that will bounce well. Find a flat surface and make sure you have plenty of room and won’t damage anything!! Play the track and listen for the meter of 4 beats.

You can:

• Bounce the ball on every first beat and count the others (2,3,4)

• Bounce the ball on the 1^st and 3^rd beat and count the missing ones (2 & 4)

• Bounce the ball on every beat (tricky!!!)

If you don’t have a bouncy ball, or you don’t have space to do this safely, find a soft toy or a bean bag. Then you can throw instead of bounce, doing all the same patterns as above

Now you can have fun doing some statues.

Listen to the tune. The pattern for each phrase is:

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, stride.

On every stride you can make a shape / jump/ twirl etc etc. Make sure you are ready to move on the next walk.

Find a long scarf, and walk to the tune, resting the scarf on the floor at each stride. Can you do something different to show the stride?
