Body percussion

What to do with this activity?

What is body percussion? It's when you use your body to make rhythmical noises instead of drums or other percussion instruments. That can include clapping, striking your hand against different parts of your body, or stamping your feet. Sometimes it is combined with vocal sounds but not words. Lots of folk dances from all over the world use body percussion in different ways.

Why not learn a short body percussion routine together. Have a look at this short lesson from CBeebies or this one from the same channel. Get some more inspiration from this group from Costa Rica. Try and combine moves to make your own body percussion routine.
