Shake, Rattle and Bang

Season 3 Book 40



Narrator: Peppa and her friends are at
playgroup.
Madame Gazelle: Today children, we are going
to learn about instruments that you shake,
rattle and bang.
All: Hooray!
Madame Gazelle: First, choose an instrument
each from the music room.

1

Danny: I've got drums!
Madame Gazelle: They are called bongo
drums, Danny.
You bang them with your hands like this.

2

Suzy: I've got a flat bongo drum.
Madame Gazelle: That is a bodhran. It is Irish.
You beat it with a little stick like this.

3

Pedro: I've got a tambourine!
Madame Gazelle: Very good, Pedro!
You can also shake it like this.
All: Woo!

4

Peppa: I've got a big drum.
Madame Gazelle: Ah! The bass drum.

5

Candy: I don't know what this is called. But
it's scrappy.
Madame Gazelle: That, Candy, is called a
guiro. And it comes all the way from the
South America!
All: Wow!
Pedro: How did it get here?
Madame Gazelle: I brought it back from my
holiday.

6

Zoe: What are these?
Madame Gazelle: They are maracas.
I brought them back from my holiday in
Spain!

7

Freddy: This is a triangle.
My dad sells these in boxes of ten.
Madame Gazelle: Thank you, Freddy. I will
remember that.
Freddy: You don't need to go on holiday to
get them.
Madame Gazelle: Thank you!

8

Emily: What are these?
Madame Gazelle: These are castanets.
Freddy: My dad sells them in boxes of five.
Madame Gazelle: Thank you, Freddy.
That is how you play the castanets.
Here you are, Emily.
Emily: Do I have to do the dance?
Madame Gazelle: Ha-ha, no! Just make the
clickety-clack noise.

9

Madame Gazelle: Ah! I see Rebecca has
cymbals.
Rebecca: Yes!

10

Madame Gazelle: Now you know what your
instruments sound like.
We can play them all together.
Peppa: Ready Steady Go!
Madame Gazelle: Stop! Stop! Stop!
That is not music. That is just noise.
Anybody can bang, bang, bang.
But to make music, you have to listen to each
other and keep in time.

11

Danny: Madame Gazelle,
I can't listen and do music.
Madame Gazelle: Can you clap?
Danny: Yes.
Madame Gazelle: If you can clap, you can
make music. All the girls, please copy me.
Now, boys.

12

Narrator: Madame Gazelle has made the
clapping into music.
Madame Gazelle: And, stop.
Now, we will learn how to play our
instruments together.
Narrator: The parents have come to pick up
the children.

13

Madame Gazelle: Ah! You are just in time!
May I present the Shake, Rattle and Bang
Orchestra. Hooray!
Children! Ready, steady, go!
Daddy: Bravo!

14

Madame Gazelle: Perhaps some of my old
pupils would like to join in too.
Find your instruments, children.
Yes, Madame Gazelle!
Narrator: Madame Gazelle used to teach all
the mummies and daddies when they were
little.
Peppa: It's quite hard, daddy. But you do it
like this.
Daddy: Let me see if I've got that right.

15

Peppa: Daddy, you can play the drum!
Daddy: I'm a bit of an expert in drumming.
Madame Gazelle: That's good shake, rattle and
banging. Now perform!
Peppa: My daddy can shake, rattle and bang.
