This is a fun brain gym warm up to get your singers moving and smiling, as well as exploring different vocal timbres.
Variations:
1. Add can can kicks
2. Substitute the word ‘can’ for a clap
3. Substitute the animal names for noises. You can really enjoy the different registers. I like to ask everyone to show each other their goldfish mouths. Makes everyone laugh.
4. Do everything all at once.
5. Sing it double the speed.
