Extinction Rap (rhythm, pulse)
These rap with body percussion activities are just as easy to do with individual children, with groups or with the whole class. First the children need to practise saying the names of these extinct animals, keeping a steady pulse:
- Auk
- Do-do
- Din-o-saur
- Woo-lly mamm-oth
Next play the backing track below for the children to practise say the words in time to it, making a rap, either in groups or individually. The backing track is the right length for saying the four animal names lots of times and you'll know when you get near the end because there's an extra drum added to the mix. The children will need to practise several times and then you can record their rap and play it back to them. Either you or the children can invent body percussion or practise walking in time on the spot.
