Pitch Year 1 Notations - I, I, Me oh my

Introducing a delightful musical activity for Year 1 students, the "I, I, Me oh my" game is a fun and interactive way to engage children with pitch and rhythm. In this game, children are encouraged to sit either in a line or a circle, creating a sense of unity and collaboration. The group begins by singing the catchy phrase "I, I, me oh my," while simultaneously tapping their knees in time with the pulse of the song, which helps to develop their sense of beat and timing.

As the song progresses, each child gets the opportunity to take the spotlight with a solo performance. They complete the tune by adding the name of their favourite kind of pie, for example, "apple pie." This not only adds a personal touch to the song but also encourages quick thinking and decision-making, as children are advised to choose their pie in advance. The aim is to maintain a continuous pulse throughout the game, fostering a sense of rhythm and coordination among the children. The activity culminates with an "All Solo" section where every child gets to express their individual preferences, making it an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all.
