Instrumental Activity Book - Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Music Resource Description
The "Little Rabbit Foo Foo" Instrumental Activity Book provides a charming and interactive musical game for children, who are arranged in a circle and divided into four groups, each assigned a different category of instruments, such as tappers, shakers, scrapers, and bells. As the group leader, acting as the Good Fairy, you guide the children to play their instruments in time with different lines of the song "Little Rabbit Foo Foo". The shakers match the rhythm of the title line, while the bells, scrapers, and tappers are paired with subsequent lines of the song, creating a diverse and engaging soundscape as the story of Little Rabbit Foo Foo unfolds.
The game continues with the children holding their instruments still while reciting a warning from the Good Fairy, after which the song is sung again with altered lyrics. The Good Fairy warns the children that they have three chances to behave, or else they will be turned into stone. With each repetition of the song, the number of chances decreases, and when no chances remain, the children must remain motionless, pretending to be turned into stone, until the Good Fairy revives them with a tap of her 'magic wand'. This playful activity not only fosters musical timing and coordination but also encourages good behaviour and attentive listening among the young participants.
