This activity deeply internalises the musical elements of rhythm, tempo and timing because the children are learning kinetically as well as through auditory channels.  They are also emotionally involved, experiencing the pleasure of anticipation, feeling excited and enjoying the delight on each other’s faces.  By involving the whole body, the ears and the emotions we should stimulate a potent mix of learning modalities.
