In the activity Beat and No Beat, the Cheeky Monkeys listened carefully to the music, distinguishing between music with a beat and music without one. They responded creatively to what they heard, exploring movement and expression. Developing rhythmic awareness through listening to music helps children recognise patterns and rhythms in the world around them. This skill extends to language, enhancing their ability to speak, read, and listen with fluency and understanding. By identifying rhythmic structures, children gain a stronger foundation for literacy and communication. Through this playful activity, the Cheeky Monkeys are building skills that support both their musical and language development.
