Pitch Activity Book - We All Have Different Faces

The "We All Have Different Faces" activity book presents a musical game that celebrates diversity and the unique backgrounds of each child. The game is designed for a group of children to sit in a line or circle and engage in a rhythmic activity while singing. The song's lyrics, "We all have different faces, we all come from different places," are accompanied by a series of actions that include knee claps and finger clicks to the beat. This is followed by the interactive question-and-answer section of the song, where children take turns revealing their personal origins by singing "Where are you from?" and responding with their own location, such as "I'm from London," using the musical notes So and Mi (G and E for those familiar with note names).

After each child shares their origin, the group echoes the response, maintaining the same pitch, which fosters a sense of unity and inclusiveness. For those learning solfa, the melody can be reinforced with hand signs that correspond to the solfa syllables. The game continues in a pattern, with the first five children taking turns before the group sings the main verse again with actions. This pattern is repeated until every child has had the opportunity to participate. It's recommended that children prepare by considering whether they will share their current residence or place of birth to ensure clarity and maintain the rhythm of the game. This activity not only promotes musical learning but also encourages children to appreciate the diverse backgrounds within their group.
