Hey Baby Let's Rock And Roll

Music

Divide children into groups and allocate a 'sound ' to each group e.g. clapping hands; drum or plastic bucket; sing; tap the desk. A leader will show a flash card indicating which group should play along with the song.

Visual Art

Make your own sound flash cards by drawing the sounds e.g. hands to represent 'clapping ', a face to represent 'singing ' , a drum or bucket to represent drumming, a desk to represent tapping the desk.

Laminate the cards for longevity.
