THE
ROBIN
…
always sings, summer and winter, with the sun and the rain, for defending its
territory from the partner’s canorous attacks.
For
this games, are necessary a recorder and some boxes with songs known by all the
players. Who has in hand the recorder, guides the game and chooses a partner.
The recorder begins to turn and a song, it also chosen by the conductor, fills
with its notes the ears of who is listening. The player, in the same time, tries
to imprint well in the mind the song’s rhythm and melody. At a certain point
the conductor brings to zero the recorder’s volume, that continues to turn in
silence, while the player’s voice replaces that of the singer for permitting
the song to pursue. After some seconds the volume returns normal: if the player
is got on keeping the song’s rhythm, he is the winner.
