Singing Games Activity Book - Four White Horses

The "Four White Horses" is a playful singing game, presented in an activity book, that combines rhythm, music, and movement. The lyrics of the game paint a whimsical picture of four white horses by the river, a forthcoming rainy day, and an invitation to engage in shadow play. The melody is structured in a way that encourages participants to sing along with a series of 'Û' and 'JÛ' notations indicating the rhythm and beat. The tune is catchy and repetitive, making it easy for children to learn and remember. It's an enjoyable way to teach children about rhythm and coordination while also allowing them to be active and creative.

Accompanying the song is a set of clapping actions, turning the game into an interactive experience for two players. The sequence of claps involves clapping one's own hands, then alternating claps with a partner's right and left hands, followed by clapping both hands together with the partner's. This pattern is repeated throughout the chant, providing a fun and engaging way to develop hand-eye coordination and timing. The clapping game requires cooperation and synchronisation, fostering social skills and teamwork among participants as they enjoy the music and actions together.
