6 U nit The Animal Concert

Do you know that music can ‘paint’ pictures? In this unit, we will see how music can ‘paint’ pictures of animals.

1 a Listen to In the Farm, and guess the animals in the song. b Do the animals below make long, smooth sounds or short, detached (not smooth) ones? detached sounds smooth sounds c Get into 2 groups. Pretend you are animals in a farm. When you say “MOO”, swing your arm like a tail. March on the spot to keep a steady pulse. When you say “gok”, tip-toe to walk like chicks.

Try this with In the Farm. The song’s count-in will give you the pulse.

Can you think of other animal sounds to make?
