Find some materials to recycle and make your own rhythm instruments. Use ribbed plastic bottles for scrapers; soda pop containers filled with rice or beans; make a flipping sound from a stack of cards; etc. Then play along to the song and make music!
Come on little children
You've got the beat
Clap your hands and tap your feet
Can't you feel the rhythm everywhere?
It's the music we all share
It's fun for girls, it's fun for boys
Play a happy sound and make a little noise
You can take a rhythm maker in your hand
You can play percussion in my reggae band
(Now) take a scraper, take a stick
Scratch it up and down
It does the trick [repeat] The scraper..
(Now) take a container, fill it with beans
Shake it around
You know what I mean [repeat] Shake, shake.
(Now) take a little tambourine
Tap it, shake it
What a scene! [repeat] Tambourine.
(Now) take a little pot, and take a spoon
You can bang 'de' beat
As you're marching 'round the room [repeat] Bang de beat
All together now
Children, children well now you know
Percussion is a sound to make the music go
Percussion plays the rhythm
Percussion plays the beat
Make you feel real happy
Make you tap your feet
It's fun for girls, it's fun for boys
Play a happy sound
And make a little noise
Can't you feel the rhythm everywhere?
It's the music we all share
It's the music we all share
It's the music we all share
Don't worry, be happy
Walk straight, play steady
Come on little children
