Suggested approach:

It’s helpful for our students to work with a rhythm many times using known songs before moving to unknown songs. Depending on how comfortable your class is with “tika-tika” you can choose a known or an unknown song for this dictation activity.

1) Prepare for the activity by singing a DIFFERENT tika-tika song with words, then rhythm names, then sing the word again while tapping the rhythm.

2) Sing the song you have chosen for your dictation with lyrics only.

3) The teacher claps the rhythm of line 1.

4) Students silently tap the rhythm on their knee or on the worksheet itself and try to think of the rhythm names.

5) Students write down the first line.

6) Repeat steps 3-5 for lines 2-4.

7) Teacher claps the whole song while students check their work.

8) Collect worksheet for marking or mark as a class.

9) Sing the song again with the lyrics.
