FOUR WHITE HORSES
I adore this clapping game for teaching syncopation. I’ve often found that students who shy away from dancing games (topic for another day) are more willing to play clapping games. This is especially true of competitive classes who are interested in turning it into an elimination game.I wrote a blog post all about the clapping game and song. You can read all the details HERE.
There are a few different versions of this clapping game on Youtube. You can watch Rob Amchin sequence the game below.
BUMP UP TOMATO
Bump Up Tomato is a song/activity that I originally found on the blog Treble in the Classroom. I love that the premise behind the game is to make others laugh. As a teacher, I would’ve loved to join in as I rarely had a student who could keep a straight face around me.
