This activity uses the computer.

Put out the box of instruments, balloons and whistles.


In this activity we are going to watch a video of a clown performing. The video doesn’t have any music. Your team is to make up some music that will sound good because it suits the movements the clown is making. In this box are some instruments you can use for making the music.

Show instruments but do not give them to the students yet.

Let’s watch the video now. While it’s on, look at all the different movements the clown makes and think about the musical sounds that might suit the movements.

Show and read through sequence card
.

This card shows the sequence of movements in the video. You might find it useful.

Click the Clown button to start the video.

Now I’m going to play the video three times. You need to work together to make up some music which goes with the video because it suits the movements the clown is making. You need to work out what music you will make for each section of the video. By the end of the time you need to have planned exactly what each person is going to play during the video.

Give out instruments. Use the Pause/Play button to play the video three times. During this time, stay with the group, encouraging them to work together.

Now talk about your music, and how you have made it fit the movements the clown is making. Tell me why your music goes with the video.

Allow time for answers. Encourage all team members to speak.

Are there any changes you would like to make before you perform your clown music for me?

If “yes”, allow a short time. If “no”, carry on.

Now I would like you to perform your clown music for the
last time.

Click the Pause/Play button again.
