<h3>Does Your Doggy Like Eating Bones? (timbre)</h3><p>Everyone sits in a circle. One child is in the middle, holding the Maestro the Music Dog. She keeps her eyes closed while the teacher gives the (plastic!) bone to another child. Start the game by singing <em>Ready?</em> just on one note.</p>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/Maestro_face.png" alt="Maestro Face">    </div>                                                                <ul class="simple lyrics">            <li>Everyone: Doggy Doggy where&#039;s your bone?</li>            <li>Child in the middle: Someone stole it from my home</li>            <li>Everyone: Who stole your bone?</li>            <li>Child with the bone: I stole your bone</li>    </ul>                                                                <p>The <em>Doggy</em> child guesses, from the <em>timbre</em> of the thief's voice, who stole the bone (you will find that the children are good at guessing). Then the thief becomes the doggy in the middle, the bone is secretly given to a different child and the game starts again.</p>                                                                <div class="video">    <div class="embed">                    <iframe class="lazy_embed" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/364047351?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;color=A2D6BD" allowfullscreen="">            </iframe>            </div></div>                                                                <h3>Down to the Baker's Shop (pulse)</h3><p>An action song that children can sing, as they walk in time and hop.

<h3>Kitchen Music (timbre)</h3><p>First allow the children exploration time to make different sounds with safe kitchen utensils.</p>                                                                <div class="video">    <div class="embed">                    <iframe class="lazy_embed" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/415978874?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;color=A2D6BD" allowfullscreen="">            </iframe>            </div></div>                                                                <h4>Working in pairs dynamics, tempo, texture)</h4><p>In pairs or threes, the children next find out which utensils can make a loud or quiet sound, and they try playing fast sounds and slow sounds. They might also experiment with making two or more sounds at the same time.</p>                                                                <div class="video">    <div class="embed">                    <iframe class="lazy_embed" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/415979345?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;color=A2D6BD" allowfullscreen="">            </iframe>            </div></div>                                                                <h4>More Kitchen Ideas</h4><p>Try using a graphic score as a timeline to suggest when children might play each 'instrument'.</p><p>Individual exploration - Listen to Hannah playing My name is Hannah, using a beater on three saucepans that were hanging in a row from a bean pole. They only make a good sound if you hang them up.</p>                                                                <audio class="lazy_av" controls="" controlslist="nodownload">    <source src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/Hannah_what_can_you_play.mp3" type="audio/mp3"></source></audio>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/three_pans.jpg" alt="Three Pans">    </div>                                                                <h3>I'm a Little Teapot (rhythm, pulse, dynamics)</h3>                                                                <ul class="simple lyrics">            <li>I&#039;m a little teapot</li>            <li>Round and stout</li>            <li>Here&#039;s my handle</li>            <li>Here&#039;s my spout</li>            <li>__</li>            <li>When the tea is ready</li>            <li>Hear me shout</li>            <li>Pick me up and</li>            <li>Pour me out</li>    </ul>                                                                <p>Because this is a traditional rhyme, there are several versions of the words and various tunes have been made up for it. It goes well with imaginative play and lends itself to a range of music activities. I suggest you first teach it as a rhyme then - for the creative part of the activity - ask the children to invent actions they could do to each line as they chant it. Demonstrate how to say the last two lines louder. Next practise tapping the pulse and clapping the rhythms - each line of verse 1 sounds the same as the corresponding line in verse 2. </p><p>Some children may be able to make up their own tune to go with the words. 'How do I get them to do that?' you may be wondering. Not every child will want to try and not every child has 'found' their singing voice at age three but a few children will probably, spontaneously start to sing their own made-up tune when they are playing at making tea later. This is the opportunity for you to show how delighted you are with their tune - it's the beginning of something wonderful! </p>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/teapot.jpg" alt="Teapot">    </div>

Because it has a steady pulse, it's good for learning to march in time. In the middle section, you could ask the children to listen out for the boom of the drum and do a 'bang the drum' action when they hear it - this is easier if you march too and model how to do the drum action. Take the opportunity to tell the children that the music's steady <em>pulse</em> makes it good for marching so that they experience the word, pulse in context. </p><p>Can the children say whether they think it is happy or sad music, and why? At this stage, children tend to latch onto one quality of the music and all say the same thing so you could say the you think it's happy because it has such a cheerful tune. </p>                                                                <audio class="lazy_av" controls="" controlslist="nodownload">    <source src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/French_Pastry_Naxos-8.555009-11-HKI190005011.mp3" type="audio/mp3"></source></audio>                                                                <h4>Pastry-Making (Cross curricular)</h4><p>The children could help with making (and eating) real pastry and would then be able to mime the pastry-making actions to this music. (Remember to check for food allergies.)</p>
