‹‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ Back to Body Percussion


Switch is a group game focussed on building rhythm skills using body actions. This collection builds on the project Rhythmic Roots and you’ll continue to explore the basics of finding and keeping a steady pulse by:

  • Understanding signals and following the video guides
  • Gaining a basic knowledge of rhythmic notation
  • Using body actions (such as clapping and nodding) to move in with the pulse

How to Play Switch

Before playing the game, you must first select a leader who’s job it is to shout “switch!” as and when they choose. We recommend starting with your teacher in this role, but after some practice, you may want to select someone else.

Playing the game is simple. The instructions below tell you all you need to do…
