Say The Word On Beat

Keep the rhythm going as you speak, count, and call out colours and animals: all on beat!

  • Quick Break (1-2 mins)
  • All Ages
  • Dance and Rhythm

Instructions

1. Start the Beat

   Play the video and get into the groove. The rhythm will guide you.

2. Say the Word on Beat

   Begin by saying the simple word (like “frog” or “dog”) in time with the beat.

Try Mixing It Up

  • Go faster or slower to test your timing.
  • Go around the class so each student says a verse.
  • Add your own beat or sound effects for extra fun!
