Pitch Activity Book - We will Copy You

The "We will Copy You" activity from the Pitch Activity Book offers an engaging and interactive way for children to combine music and movement. In this group exercise, children sit in a circle with one child starting off with the ball in their lap. As they sing the catchy tune "We will copy you, if you have the ball on you," all participants mimic the actions of the child holding the ball. The song continues with instructions to roll the ball to another child, whose name is sung out loud, passing on the role of leader. The game continues with everyone now imitating the actions of the new ball-holder, ensuring that every child gets a turn to lead while others follow their movements.

This playful activity is adaptable to different spaces and can be modified based on the room available. If a circular arrangement isn't feasible, the word 'roll' in the song can be replaced with 'pass' to suit a smaller area, or even 'throw' for a more dynamic version of the game. This flexibility allows for the activity to be enjoyed in various settings, encouraging children to listen, participate, and coordinate their actions with others, all while having fun with music.
