Learn each of three parts by clapping or tapping your lap while you watch the video.
The tambourine: clap.
The triangle: tap your index fingers together.
The drum: pat your lap.
Step 3 - Make or find a home-made instrument and play with the song. You can choose to make a drum, a triangle or a tambourine.
Search “make a simple drum” or “make a simple tambourine” on Google and you will find lots of ideas for how to make a simple instrument. Make the instrument, and then choose one of the three parts in “A Ram Sam Sam” and play along with the second video above.
When you can play it, video yourself playing the piece and save for future assessment

In this video there are three untuned percussion parts: the claves, the triangle and the tambourine. Firstly, learn to play each one of them by clapping your hands or tapping your lap. You may need to watch the video over and over again to learn the parts correctly.
Then find or make an instrument to use as a pair of claves, a triangle or a tambourine, and play it along with the video. This can be as simple as finding two sticks to hit together as claves, or a plastic container to use as a tambourine.
Then record your performance on video and save for future assessment

REVISION - Sound Effects
Let's pretend that you have a job. Your job title is "Sound Engineer). You work for Universal Pictures. The director of the movie has sent you a muted version of one of the scenes. It's where the family are choosing the dogs name. Listen to the movie excerpt below (PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS ON MUTE).
The first task would be to watch the scene and make a list of all the sounds. Watch it several times.
The next task, would be to think about how you will make those sounds. What materials will you use to create those sounds. Try making that actual sound as in the movie and try re-creating it using other materials and objects.
