about

This song is a game that can be played with drums (beat 1) woodblocks (every beat) and triangles (beat 4). The rhythmic patterns are in the song. After each repetition the children swap (I work in a clockwise direction). Alternatively, in a class situation, hand out any instruments making sure there are no two the same next to each other. The children then swap after each verse. You can suggest different ways to play the instruments as the instructions for the 3 instrument game are only in the first verse. Have fun!

lyrics

Would you like to play a game with your instruments?
It's a very good game and it's never the same!

(Boom go the drums / Tick tock woodblocks / Triangles go TING!
1, 2, 3 and swap! 1, 2, 3 and swap!)

Swapping game, swapping game, swap your instruments round,
Swapping gmae, swapping Are you ready for a new sound?

Swapping game, swapping game,
you've swapped your instruments round,
Swapping game, swapping game,
you've swapped your instruments round,
And now you've played all the sounds!
