Cup Game
Versatile game for developing movement coordination and sense of rhythm.
AIM
The aim of the game is to develop musical and coordination skills in a complex way. The choice of songs and the movements of the cup game stimulate creativity.
Description
The first step is to learn the Maori song „Epo i tai tai” so that everyone knows the notes with confidence. This can be done by the leader learning it in advance and the participants learning it from her/him, or by learning the song together with the
recordings.
After that, we practice the elements of the cup game separately, or we practice it with the recording until we know it. If the melody and the cup game go together, then we put the entire task together.
The game can be practiced in a small group or alone.
Level up!
Create unique cup games to a melody selected by you!
Lyrics
Epo i tai tai e
Epo i tai tai e
Epo i tai tai
Epo i tuki tuki
Epo i tuki tuki e
You can find several translations for the text, for now let’s take this
one: We shall not be sad we will only be happy.
COMMENTS FOR FACILITATORS
Among the links, the first is one where there is only rhythm for practicing cup game moves, no melody.
