When the students are comfortable with the song, they can add another<br />
musical task<br />
Students create “canoes’ for the work song in a boat (each will have a<br />
different timbre)<br />
Sing the song through as a group, have the students Echo the teacher<br />
4 beat patterns, 4 times<br />
Next, let each student in the “head” of the canoe play 4 rhythms for the<br />
canoe group <strong>to</strong> echo.<br />
Continue repeating the song & the patterns until all students in the boats<br />
have had a turn as the leader.<br />
Students can “hop boats” while playing the singing game, so they can play<br />
several instruments in one class.
