Showcase Your Rapper Voice

What can we use instead of pots, a spoon, or a box if those materials are hard to find?

If you don't have pots, a spoon, or a box, use plastic bowls, yogurt tubs, wooden blocks, claps, or a metronome app when you 'Try hitting your pots, spoon, and box to make different sounds'.

My beat keeps speeding up or slowing down—how can I fix it?

If your 4-beat loop keeps changing speed, slow down and tap a clear 1-2-3-4 on the table while counting out loud or use a metronome app to keep the steady tempo as you create the repeating loop.

How can I adapt the activity for younger or older kids?

For younger kids, use 1–3 strong words and a 2–4-line verse with an adult helping to tap a simple beat, while older kids can write 4–8 lines, add rhymes, layer extra sounds into the 4-beat loop, and record with a phone during practice.

What are some ways to make the performance more exciting or personal?

To enhance your rap, decorate the box or props, build a short hook from your 3–5 strong words, record the pots/spoon/box loop on a phone to layer beats, and add a simple dance move when you 'stand up, use confident posture and perform'.
