Instrumental Year 1 Notations - Ten fat sausages instrumental

In this engaging Year 1 music lesson, children are introduced to the rhythmic and instrumental interpretation of the song "Ten Fat Sausages." The notation provided guides the students through the rhythm of the lyrics "Ten fat sausages sizzling in a pan, one went POP! and the other went BANG!" The notation consists of repeated quaver beats that correspond to the syllables of the words, allowing the children to match the rhythm with the lyrics effectively.

To add an interactive element to the lesson, it is recommended to divide the class into two groups. Each group is assigned a specific word from the song to accompany with an instrumental sound. Group one is given the exciting task of playing their instruments on the word "POP!" while group two is responsible for creating a sound on the word "BANG!" This can be further enhanced by providing different types of instruments for each group; for instance, group one could use shakers, and group two could use tapping instruments. As the song reaches its final verse, "No fat sausages sizzling in a pan, all of a sudden, the pan went BANG!" all children come together to play on the word "BANG!" creating a unified and dramatic conclusion to the song.
