Do your online or in person socially distanced lessons need a little spicing up? Ollie Tunmer of Beat Goes On has some fun ideas using body percussion (no sharing!) that can be used for virtual or in person learning. Ollie does not stick to the usual, pat, clap stamp and snap, he draws on his experience performing with STOMP to explore body percussion in ways you and your students may not have tried before! He begins with some fun warm ups and rhythm echoes. Then he shares an energetic lesson where the children can help you learn their names and tell you a bit about themselves. If you enjoy this lesson and are looking for more, check out his YouTube channel, and his new book Body Beats.
