Rhythm Pulse Activity Book - Come, Butter Come
Music Resource Description
The "Rhythm Pulse Activity Book" features an engaging musical game set to the rhyme "Come, Butter Come," which is designed to develop rhythm and coordination in children. The game involves participants standing in a circle and chanting the rhyme together, to a simple rhythmic melody indicated by music notes. The lyrics of the rhyme follow a pattern that includes the lines "Come, butter come," and "Peter stands at the gate, waiting for a butter cake, come butter come." The structure of the melody is straightforward and repetitive, making it easy for children to learn and follow.
During the game, each child takes a turn to create a unique action that the rest of the group will mimic. The action is performed after the first iteration of "come butter come," and the group then repeats the action for the subsequent lines of the rhyme. This interactive activity not only encourages creativity as children devise different actions but also promotes unity as they all perform the actions together. To personalize the game further, the name 'Peter' in the rhyme can be replaced with the name of the child whose turn it is to lead the action, adding an extra element of fun and engagement for the participants.
