Module 6



  1. Unknown
  2. Children in Kenya
  3. Kenya
  4. Voice, Membranophone
  5. When I first saw this video when combing through YouTube, I fell in love with it.  Mostly because the one little boy that is called up second in the game is so happy when he's singing and dancing and having his turn to lead.  I thought that one moment truly showed the concept of children socializing through music and dance.  When he was chosen he was ecstatic, and his smile and dancing showed it.  These types of activities are important for children because it does encourage socialization with each other musically as well as enhancing their listening skills.  They are required to listen to the drummer and other singers in the group in order to keep time and on pitch.  They also call each other out during the song to come join them in the circle allowing them some independent time throughout the game.

  1. Larissa,
    I agree that the child are engaging in a pleasant way with each other. I would suggest considering the ways in which this game might teach the children about the norms and values of their culture. What are they learning about the group? About themselves?
