Activity B Children write a 'Disco Dog' rap in rhyming couplets using the same rhythm as the 'The Disco Sheep'. Finished raps can be submitted to the Showcase. Using a rhyming dictionary, children build a list of rhyming word pairs associated with a chosen theme.

They could clap or click the rhythms together. Children present their work to other groups, explaining what they have done.
