- STEP 1: Start in a circle with students. Prompt them with the question: how would you say your name? Would it be fast or slow, loud or soft, high or low?
- STEP 2: Students can think about their answer and then share their response with a peer sitting next to them.
- STEP 3: As the facilitator, the teacher should then ask each student “What’s Your Name?” in a long-short-long rhythm. Each student can then respond aloud with their chosen way to say their name.
- STEP 4: Repeat step 3, but this time, students need to clap and say their name simultaneously.
- STEP 5: Repeat step 3 again, but this time, take out the voice and only use the clapping. This leads to a question and answer rhythmic song.
