Zoodeo

This version of this African-American street song is great for:

  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'high do'.
  • Working with syncopation.
  • Doing actions on the beat against syncopated rhythms.
  • Alternating between singing and speaking voices.
  • Preparing and practising the rhythmic element 'tim-ka' with the 2nd spoken section of the song.
