ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Story to learn rhythms and sounds – Kolitas a world of sounds and rhythms
One night, Penny couldn’t sleep. She was a little scared. “What are all those noises?” she wondered. “Is it something bad?”
But then, a friendly voice said, “Don’t be afraid, Penny. There are lots of things that make noises. They have their own beat and music. Come with us, and we’ll show you!”
In a band, each instrument makes a different sound. Together, they create beautiful songs. Look at how well our friends play! Isn’t it fun?
Penny loves to dance! “Look how good I am!” she says. “I’ve got rhythm!”
At night, we hear noises that sometimes scare us because we don’t know where they come from. But if we listen carefully, we can discover how nice some of them sound.
Penny listens closely. “Can you hear the sound of the waves?” they ask. The waves sound so relaxing, and their rhythm helps us sleep tight.
“Kids, come on in! The water’s great!” someone calls. But be careful not to step on the crabs; there are lots of them!
Sometimes, the sound you hear at night is a pleasant surprise. It might be your friends getting ready for a party next door. “What do you think, Penny? Want to join the rhythm?”
Every sound has its own special beat. Whether it’s the waves, a band, or even a party, they all make the world a more musical place. Let’s listen and enjoy!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Listen carefully and try to find different sounds. Can you hear the ticking of a clock, the hum of a refrigerator, or the chirping of birds outside? Write down or draw the sounds you hear. Discuss with your friends or family which sounds you like the most and why.
Create Your Own Band: Use household items to create your own musical instruments. You can use pots and pans as drums, a comb and wax paper as a kazoo, or a container with rice as a shaker. Form a band with your friends or family and play together. Try to make a rhythm that everyone can follow. How do the different sounds come together to make music?
Nighttime Sound Journal: Before going to bed, listen to the sounds you hear at night. Write down or draw what you hear in a special journal. Do you hear crickets, the wind, or maybe a car passing by? Share your journal with your class or family and talk about which sounds help you feel calm and which ones are surprising.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
