Hip Hop Bunny Rhythm Game

I've been using "Hip Hop Bunny" (from Music K-8, Vol. 14, No. 4) for an instrumental activity and a game.  I teach the kids the pattern:

clap, clap, clap,

hands up,

hands left,

hands right,

hands left,

hands right,

repeat until song is over.

Claps are quarter notes; other movements are quarter rests. We transferred to drums and rhythm instruments. When everyone got that figured out, I started calling "switch" occasionally, and the kids switched their instruments counterclockwise to the next person.
