|
Group size: Small Group or Whole Class
Process:
The children are sat in a circle on the carpet. The teacher explains that they will be producing a soundtrack of rainforest animal noises to be played in the Rainforest Role Play area. The teacher withdraws the creatures from the storysack/box one by one, revisiting their names and sounds with the children. As each creature is introduced it is placed in a line on the mat in the middle of the circle. When all the creatures have been introduced to the line, the teacher uses a long stick to point to each animal in turn. The children make the associated noises, thus creating a “chain of sound”. The children are then challenged to hold the stick and make the chain of sound individually with the rest of the class as audience. Group or individual chains may be recorded as desired.
Product:
The children will produce a recording of a chain of rainforest animal noises to be used as a soundtrack in the Rainforest Role Play area.
