World Music
This activity is for two competing teams, each with a volunteer standing on one side of the IWB. A musical word appears near the top of the screen. It belongs to one of the categories in the list below it. A point is awarded to the first team to identify the correct category. But if the first guess is wrong, the turn passes to the opposing team. If they also guess wrongly, or run out of time, the turn passes back to the first team again, and so on. Which team can score the most points?
Questions are chosen in random order from a question bank. So you can take a 'first team to reach 5' approach and the questions will be different each time you play.

Live performance example of Brazilian Coco to support Somerset Music Coco Scheme of Work.
The name "Coco" comes from the Brazilian word for head, "cabeça," because song lyrics are often improvised. Coco is often performed with a repetitive musical beat and call and response singing reminsiscent of Capoeira music. The music is commonly performed at traditional parties in the northeast, such as weekend street parties and Carnival.
