Starter Activity
Students should begin the lesson by playing Pass the Beat.
In a four beat pattern, students will say one word each, like so:
PASS / THE / BEAT / (clap)
Students will continue to pass this pattern around the circle, until one of them says the wrong word, or goes too fast or too slow. Once a student is 'out' they must sit down - its important that they are silent for the rest of the game to prevent the other students from being distracted.
