Pitch Activity Book - Here I Come

"Here I Come" is an engaging and interactive activity designed to captivate children in a group or classroom setting. The activity begins with the children arranged in a circle, with one child selected as the leader who sits in a distinguished leader's chair at the front. The game is initiated by the leader singing the opening line of a catchy tune, "Here I come," to which the rest of the group responds with curiosity, "Where from?" The dialogue continues in song, with the leader declaring they're from London and their trade is lemonade. The playful interaction peaks when the class pretends to hold out glasses, and the leader "pours" some lemonade into one child's glass, symbolically choosing them as the new leader.

This activity book promotes not only musical enjoyment but also encourages listening skills and turn-taking. As the children become more familiar with the game, they can add their own creative twist by changing the name of the place they come from and the type of drink they offer, adding a layer of personalisation and imagination to the activity. To maintain order and give each child a fair chance to participate, it is recommended that the leader should select the next child based on who is sitting quietly and not calling out. This subtle encouragement of good behaviour ensures that the game remains fun and inclusive for everyone. "Here I Come" is a delightful way to integrate music, social interaction, and learning in a harmonious and entertaining manner.
