Why is it that when I ask a class to do rhythm movements, such as clapping or tapping their hands on themselves or an instrument- no matter what grade it is- all the guys do so as hard as they possibly can?
With the 2nd grade today, one of our songs involved patting the steady beat on different places of the body, firstly the head. (this song is also mentioned in the other blog) (Is firstly even a word? If not then it should be!). Just as I predicted, the boys started smacking the crap out of their heads.
Why?
Same goes if they are clapping their hands or if I hand out percussion instruments. It's never the girls. Even when I say before hand that they need to make sure they do it softly and/or quietly, it doesn't make a difference. It's like males cannot help it - they've got to get violent!
I wish I could figure it out.
Any clues?
