Coaching Notes:

We get to be ROCK STARS in this song! Kids of all ages love this and really get into the style.
Ask them to do rock and roll hands and even stick their tongue out to each other like a heavy metal rock star!

Start OTS ask the kids what they would do to the music when it starts and they will often do the quick quick slow rhythm and then teach the stomp stomp clap move.
Once they have the rhythm, they take the clap everywhere around their body and even slap their body on the clap.
Older kids can interact with each other by clapping with each other while trying to stay on the rhythm which is challenging!

Now ask them to plant their feet and get their guitar and rock out to like a rock star (the best time in the song to do this is 1:34 when the guitar solo comes in).
Let kids be totally wild and creative on the air guitar moving to the ground, interacting and rolling around.

The last move is OTS and it follows the same rhythm as stomp stomp clap but it is pump pump throw. The pump is with bent arms and the throw is straight arms.
Once they have the rhythm they should be throwing in all different places around their body.

Danish Coaching Notes
GROOVE Moves: Tramp-tramp-klap / luftguitar / bank-bank-kast
Stilord: rockstjerner, seje

Vi får lov til at være rockstjerner i denne her sang! Børn i alle aldre elsker det og lever sig fuldt ind i stilen. Bed dem lave rock and roll hænder og måske ræk tunge ad hinanden somægte heavy metal rock stjerner!
Start på stedet (OTS) med at spørge børnene hvad de vil lave til musikken; ofte gør de det ad sig selv – tramp, tramp, klap. Når de har rytmen kan du foreslå dem at klappe nye steder hver gang – måske endda på deres krop, i gulvet og rundt i alle retninger. Ældre børn kan interagere med hinanden ved at klappe med hinanden (high fives) imens de holder rytmen – hvilket kan være udfordrende!
Bed dem nu plante deres fødder i gulvet/stoppe op, find deres guitar frem og spil luftguitar som en rockstjerne (det bedste tidspunkt i sangen at gøre det er 1:34 når guitar soloen starter) Lad børnene være helt vilde og kreative med deres luftguitar; kom ned på gulvet, interagere med hinanden og rulle rundt!
Det sidste trin er på stedet (OTS) og det fælger den same rytme som tramp, tramp, klap men det er et bank, bank, kast. ”Banket” er med bøjede arme og ”kastet” er med strakte arme. Når de har rytmen kan du bede dem kaste i alle retninger – nye steder hver gang.
