STONES HILL SONGS
*Come on and jump *
🎶 This lively action song has much to offer: the quality of any movement changes when performed like a clown. A clown walk is quite different from our 'normal' walk. This introduces a new element as it opens up other possible creative ways of moving.
Exaggerate the circus fanfare theme- drum rolls, dramatic pauses, slow entries to create anticipation! Play with the timing. This teaches children to be alert to nuance and effect. Contrast the slow with the bright, lively, energetic moves, and they will love the sudden FREEZE which hits the middle: learning to STOP is as important as learning to GO. Freeze-statue games and songs abound for children for this reason. I love to stretch it a loooong time and leave them guessing, even pretend to go off and drink tea, have a yawn, check the watch - they will stand stock still for as long as you want and learn the art of watching and waiting! The funny sign like an upside-down eye in the music below means PAUSE - all these bits can be drawn out as much as you want.
