It is a happy day in Nenek’s home. Nenek is anticipating the arrival of her friends from all over Singapore. To prepare for the arrival of her guests, Nenek has invited a dikir barat group to perform in her house. She has also planned a series of other exciting activities that she would like to showcase to her non-Malay guests.
Together with the dikir barat group, Nenek will take her guests on a journey to discover more about the Malay culture. Students will learn to:

• Sing and perform rhythmic hand gestures with the dikir barat troupe.
• Pick up Malay phrases as they listen to Nenek’s stories.
• Play a classic children’s game “Injit-injit Semut”.
• Use coconuts in different ways.

Rumah Nenekku uses drama and music to explain aspects of Malay culture such as the language, art forms and cuisine. This performance will also help students to develop an appreciation for Malay culture.
