What to have Music player
What to do Talk to the children about rabbits and kangaroos, discussing with them the difference in the size of these animals and, therefore, in the force of each animal’s jump. Play “Rabbits and ’Roos,” having the children jump like rabbits during the “rabbit” sections of the music and like kangaroos during the “’roo” parts. The song begins with two verses for the rabbits (A) and two for the ’roos (B); the entire form is AA, BB, AA, BB, AB.
Why Promotes listening skills and can identify the musical changes. Child demonstrates the ability to jump correctly and understands the concepts between jumping heavy and jumping light.
