Instrumental Activity Book - I Let Her Go go

The "I Let Her Go-Go" activity book provides a playful and engaging way for children to learn rhythm and coordination through music and movement. It includes a catchy tune that is easy to follow, with simple lyrics that repeat the phrase "I let her go-go, ee - ay I let her go." The book proposes a non-instrumental game where children stand in a circle and interact with a partner. The game requires an even number of participants and involves a sequence of hand clapping, partner swapping, and jumping to face a new partner, all timed to the words of the song. This activity not only teaches musical timing but also encourages physical coordination and social interaction among the children.

For the instrumental activities, the book suggests a variety of exercises to enhance the children's musical experience. These range from singing and clapping, to playing instruments like claves on the word 'GO', to more complex tasks such as dividing the group to play on different parts of the lyrics. The activities also include the use of 'thinking voices', where children play silently in their heads, helping to develop their internal sense of rhythm. Additionally, the book offers an exercise where children practice tapping the pulse with one hand and the rhythm with the other, which can be done on their knees or on drums. These activities are designed to build musical skills in a fun and interactive way, suitable for a primary school setting.
