Three simple pictures, two hands, a snapping hand and a footprint, each stand for a sound: a clap, a snap and a stomp. Placed in a row along a beat line and read from left to right by a bouncing ball, they become a sound pattern that children can hear, and swapping the pictures makes a new one.

Transcript

What the lesson says

Can pictures stand for sounds that we make?

This picture of two hands means clap.

This picture of fingers means snap.

This picture of a foot means stomp.

Now we put the pictures in a row.

We read the row from left to right.

Listen as the ball hops along the row.

Clap, snap, stomp, then clap, snap, stomp again.

The sounds repeat, so this is a sound pattern.

Change the pictures, and the sounds change too.

Now it goes clap, clap, stomp, two times.

So each picture stands for a sound we make.
