I've used some rhyming words, can you find them?

Jack's Poem

Start listening from 7 minutes and 15 seconds.

It was written by a man called John Williams and it comes from a film called Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

How can you finish the sentence to make it rhyme ?

You can tap the rhythm of the words as you read the poem.

The humans on Earth look tiny to the aliens just like Jack does to the Giant.

In this piece of music, the humans are making the high pitch sounds.

The space ship is really big just like the giant in our story. So when the aliens answer they make very low pitch sounds.

When you hear the low pitch sounds, crouch down to the ground like the aliens looking down to Earth.

Play one note for every syllable.

C Jack

D he

E climbed

F the

G G beanstalk

G tall

I made the pitch go higher because Jack was climbing up the beanstalk!

I wonder which notes you will choose.

Write them down so you don't forget them!

It goes faster and faster, see if you can keep up!
