1. Start by forming a circle.
2. Pick one member of the circle to lay down a beat. They should vocally establish a
rhythm. It could be a sound like a beat box or a drum line.
3. Go around the circle and each member will add a vocal sound to this rhythm. Add
only one sound at a time until each member of the circle is vocalizing. Just like the
sound and movement, there should not be words, only sounds. The sound could be
anything from animals to man-made sounds, to more rhythms, to things that are
more musical. The only thing that is important is that all of the sounds keep within
the rhythm established at the beginning.

4. When every member of the circle has added their sound, dance around the room
continuing to make your sound. Dance and move around different people so you can
hear different sounds next to each other.
hear different sounds next to each other.
5. Eventually reform the circle. See if, as a group, you can pick up the tempo of your
rhythm jam and let it go faster. Then see if you can all slow down the rhythm jam.
See if, as a group, you can slowly let it fade out and disappear.
