Pitch Activity Book - 1, 2, 3, 4

The "Pitch Activity Book" presents a playful and interactive chant that is perfect for engaging children in a group setting. The chant begins with a count of "1, 2, 3, 4" followed by a rhythmic pattern marked by exclamation points, which could represent claps or beats. The words of the chant introduce a character named Mary who is by a cottage door and later depicts her eating cherries off a plate. The simple and catchy structure of the chant makes it easy for children to memorise and recite, with the numbers "1, 2, 3, 4" and "5, 6, 7, 8" providing a numerical anchor for the rhythm.

The accompanying game adds a personalised twist to the chant, encouraging children to replace 'Mary' with their own names and 'cherries' with their favourite food. This not only makes the activity more relatable and fun for each child but also helps to foster a sense of individuality and creativity within the group setting. The class collectively chants the numbers, creating a sense of unity, while each child gets a moment in the spotlight when they say their personalised sentences. This activity is designed to boost confidence while teaching rhythm and coordination in an enjoyable and inclusive manner.
