How It Works

Each fruit has a number of syllables that match musical notes:

• “Pear” = 1 syllable = 1 clap
• “Apple” = 2 syllables = 2 quick claps
• “Coconut” = 3 syllables = 3 quick claps
• “Watermelon” = 4 syllables = 4 quick claps

Instructions

• Watch the video or follow the teacher’s lead.
• Watch and listen for each fruit.
• Clap once for each syllable in the fruit’s name.
• Try to keep the rhythm steady and have fun with the beat!

Tips

• Encourage students to say the fruit name as they clap.
• Add stomps or snaps for extra fun!
• Try making up your own fruit rhythms and challenge classmates to follow along.

This activity is a playful way to boost rhythm, listening skills, and energy in the classroom!
