Game Directions: Sing the song while passing a rhythm stick or broom around the circle. When the music stops (pause the video or signal with crash cymbals), the student holding the broom goes out. For larger classes, form two circles and use two brooms—when the music stops, the students holding the brooms switch circles.

Teaching Suggestions: Teach each pattern slowly, moving to a steady beat and resting on beat 8. Only move on once students are confident. When ready, try the patterns with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" as the tempo gradually increases.
CODA:
1. Say “No more!” and throw hands in the air twice.
2. Clap seven times.
3. Repeat #1 and 2
4. Roll hands in front of the body.
5. Throw hands in the air on the final chord.
