Be Zulu
Getting to know the music and dances of a distant culture.
AIM
Initiate movement improvisation through an easy-to-learn Zulu folk song based on the movements of the singers in the video.
Description
With the help of the facilitator or the videos, the participants learn the Zulu tune „Siyahamba”. (With the help of the recordings and sheet music, it can be learned in several parts, but it is also absolutely perfect in unison.)
They watch the videos again and observe the movements the Africans make while singing the song.
They try them out together or in smaller groups.
The participants create their own choreography from the movement elements they like best, which they perform while singing the song or playing the recording.
LYRICS
Siyahamba, ekukanyen’ kwenkos’,
Siyahamba, ekukanyen’ kwenkos’,
Siyahamba, siyahamba, oh,
Siyahamba ekukanyen’ kwenkos’.
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching, we are marching, ooh,
We are marching in the light of God.

Cooperative Vers(us)e
Creating lyrics together as a team and singing in canon.
AIM
Helps group dynamics, improves creativity and vocality.
Description
Everybody stands in the circle. The facilitator explains the task.
The participants have to figure out short lyrics.
Possible variations depending on the abilities and motivation of the groups:
– use well known songs – change the lyrics
– use only the lyrics without music, only rhythm like rap
– create your own music as well along with the lyrics
The facilitator divides the group of ~4 small groups.
The lyrics they created has to be singed as follows:
First group starts singing the first verse.
When first group finishes the first line, the second group starts singing the song from the beginning.
When second group finishes the first line, the third group starts singing the song from the beginning.
And so on…
For example:
1st group – La La LA La La – Le Le LE Le Le – Lu Lu LU Lu Lu
2nd group – La La LA La La – Le Le LE Le Le
3rd group – La La LA La La

Rhythm Map
In this game sheets with special characters (any character
that are not on a classic sheet) have to be created
and performed by the team.
AIM
This is a game for improving cooperation skills and developing focus in a creative way. Creating the sheet and coming up with rhythms is a great team building exercise. By living in the rhythm create a fun atmosphere.
Description
The facilitator creates two groups and explains the task.
First group has to find out a specific rhythm pattern that the other group needs to play on their bodies or rhythm instruments. This part of the game is like a music sheet creation task: they have to capture the rhythm, however they cannot use classic notes but symbols.
For example:
instead of „ ♪ ♫ ” they can use symbol “$” and they have to explain it means: beat with your feet
or with the symbol „❤” they want the other group to clap their hands etc.
When the first group finishes, the second group performs it based on the instructions – as a music reading task.
