Description
After seeing stories become music, turn a real sentence from a book into a repeated spoken rhythm and have your partner join it.
What to prep
- Optional household book
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime
Play guide
- 1Choose a short sentence from a household book, or use "Where did my red hat go?" Tap four steady beats on your thighs.
- 2Fit the words over the four taps by saying some quickly and holding others longer. Your partner repeats your version.
- 3Swap leaders using the same sentence. Perform your two different versions one after the other.
Success signals
A fixed sentence fits two different real rhythms that both people can reproduce.
If it's tricky
Coordinating taps is hard: one person taps while the other says the words.
