prosodic information
the "power of the voice”
The children learn that the expression in the voice has a stronger effect than the content of what is said.
Instructions
The children stand in two concentric circles. The people in the outer circle turn inwards, those in the inner circle turn outwards. Two children stand opposite each other. The child from the outer circle begins. After one minute, the outer circle moves further and the child standing on the inside begins to scold.
Teacher:
Today you can really swear at each other.
However, you may only use groups of words such as numbers, colours or days of the week, names of months .....
You will see that the tone makes the music!
Variations
You can do the same exercise by singing to your partner instead of calling each other names.
