Instructions

1. Start the Beat

   Play the video and get into the groove. The rhythm will guide you.

2. Say the Word on Beat

   Begin by saying the simple word (like “frog” or “dog”) in time with the beat.

Try Mixing It Up

  • Go faster or slower to test your timing.
  • Go around the class so each student says a verse.
  • Add your own beat or sound effects for extra fun!
