Pitch Activity Book - Postman's Knock

Get ready for a rhythmic and engaging activity with the 'Postman's Knock' game, perfect for children who love to move and interact with their peers. This fun-filled game is designed to be played in a group setting where children form a circle and pair up, ensuring there's an even number for the activity to work smoothly. As they sing the catchy tune of "Postman's Knock," children will follow a series of coordinated actions that combine clapping, movement, and playful interaction with their partners.

As the song begins with the words "Postman's knock," each child claps their hands twice to their own rhythm. When they reach the word "Knock," they extend their hands to clap with their partner's hands, creating a sense of unity and teamwork. The game then introduces movement; on the lyrics "Telling us it's," the children gracefully walk past their current partner, brushing right shoulders as they move in the same direction to find themselves in front of a new partner. Finally, when they sing "Eight o'clock," they tap their wrists as if checking a watch and exchange a knowing look with their new partner, playfully suggesting they are running late. It's important to remind the children to maintain their orientation and avoid turning around as they transition to their new partners, ensuring the game flows seamlessly and everyone enjoys the rhythm of 'Postman's Knock'!
