Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Display the Presentation: Word hunt and ask the children to write down everything they can remember about rainforest rhythms from last lesson, including correct terms and body percussion they used. Once they have written their own ideas down, ask them to leave their whiteboards in their spaces and move around the classroom to "hunt" for the ideas from their classmates and write these on their own whiteboards.
