A Ram Sam Sam on Boomwhackers
A Ram Sam Sam is a color-coded Boomwhacker play-along on bimbadi: the notes fly toward your class in their tube colors on the smartboard or projector, with the German lyrics on screen. All you need is the 8-note diatonic set from C to high C. A folk song said to come from Morocco, loved by kids around the world for its actions. This play-along is a bonus that comes with the colored sheet music on eduki; the code inside unlocks it.
The player’s menus are in German for now. Press ▶ and play: “Tempo” is the speed slider, “Tonart” means key.

Classroom idea
Make up an action for each word with your class and sing the song without tubes first. Then one group plays while the other does the actions, and you switch. Once it feels secure, try it as a round.
