Puppets with a Purpose and Spring Lessons for You!

Puppets with a Purpose and Spring Lessons for You!

In the spirit of spring and all of the gardens to awaken in the next few months, our featured weekly free lesson and recording in Music Box is “Snail and Mouse.” We use this activity with the tots all the way up to our K-1 Orff classes to demonstrate adagio and allegro in creative movement and expressive music making! Expect squeals of joy!

Here’s some favorites from the video “Puppets with a Purpose: Show Me the Bunny!” This video is a great example of how to promote participation, excitement, and imagination using puppets and instruments in the classroom.

TIP: See the children’s part with the tone block at 2:59 and how to make your own at 4:22.
