Sing Outside

Sing Outside

Warm ups

– (clap, stamp, hips, wave, tap knees, wave hands, point fingers  pat ears, going down, sit and listen…….fold arms)

– Use ‘thinking voice’ for Beat 8, then 7 and 8, then 6, 7 and 8 etc.

– All sit on ‘going down’

– Sit and listen – keep absolutely still then fold arms on Beat 8 (telepathic communication!)

– Use in canon, to help develop part skills. Remember to keep the pulse really steady

– First clap must be bang on the syllable ‘nite’ ( from ‘u-nite’)

– Order: pick, peel, chop, mash, blend, shake, drink, go.

– Make the most of the actions!

8,4,2,1 (head, shoulders, thighs, clap)

– End with a big ‘Hey’ and hold it for the camera!

– Keep the pulse really steady otherwise it WILL get faster!

– Try in canon, first 8 beats apart, then 4, then 2. If that goes well try only 1 beat apart – really tricky
