I Love to Travel
Row, row, row your boat Drive, drive, drive your car,
Gently round the lake Tour around the town,
Travelling safely on the water, Travelling safely on the road,
Boats are what you take. Cars are what you use.
Fly, fly, fly your plane Walk, walk, walk your feet,
High up in the air, Walk them on the ground
Travelling, travelling through Travelling, travelling on your
the sky, feet,
Planes will get you there. Walk to get around.
1. Follow the actions while saying, “Clap,
rest, clap, rest.”
2. Say, “Tweet, “ while acting like a
bird. (Pretend that you are flying
Say, “Quack,” while acting like a
duck and moving around.
What is rhythm?
Rhythm is a beat we hear that goes on
and on. It may also stop at some point.
There are also times when there is
silence, one after the other.
Rhythmic patterns are group of notes or
rests with a given time duration.

Steady beat is the most fundamental
concept in music. It's the
ongoing, steady, repetitive pulse that
occurs in songs, chants, rhymes,
and music. ... Most children learn to
keep a steady beat while swaying,
clapping, moving their arms, and
beating a loud, booming drum.
