Plan
What do you know about creating songs?
Are you going to use another song’s tune, or create your own?
Will you use musical instruments or just your voices?
How will you perform your song, live or video or recording?
Will you teach it to the other members of your Section?
Would you like to challenge the other members of your Section to create their own songs?
Do
Be creative. You can use a tune from a song you already know and change the lyrics, or come up with something that’s completely original.
You can add hand clapping, foot stomping, whistling, drumming… The only limit is your collective imagination!
Perform your new song for your Section, or create a music video for your song!
This is a great way to inspire other members of your Section, and to get everyone in the mood for a good time—because hey, you have arrived!
Review
What do you know now that you did not know before?
Did you have fun? Why or why not?
Were you part of a team? How did the team get along?
Keep it Simple
Maybe writing a song seems like too big a task – try writing a cheer or chant for your team instead!
Take it Further
Show off your song to the rest of the world! Run a variety show for other Sections and Groups and perform your song as part of it.
