Instrumental Activity Book - Five Fat Sausages
Music Resource Description
The "Five Fat Sausages" activity book presents an engaging and rhythmic game for children, combining music and chant to create a fun learning experience. The game is designed to be played with any type of percussion instrument. As the children recite the chant about five fat sausages sizzling in a pan, they are prompted to play their instruments at the exciting moment when one of the sausages goes 'BANG!'. This interactive element not only adds excitement but also helps to develop children's timing and coordination as they participate in the group activity.
As the game progresses, the verses decrease in number, reflecting the dwindling count of sausages in the pan, until reaching the final verse. In this last part of the chant, there are no more sausages left sizzling, and instead, the pan itself is the one to go 'BANG!'. This playful twist ensures the activity remains dynamic and maintains the children's attention throughout. The simplicity of the chant, coupled with the physical action of playing an instrument, makes it an ideal activity for young learners to enjoy music and rhythm in a group setting.
