There are so many fun ways to get those rhythm sticks quiet so you can present a new activity:
With enthusiasm, say…
“Bunny Ears!
Shoulder Holders!
Walrus!
Unicorn!
Make an X
Make 11
Make an L
Make a V
Make a T
Tap 3 times
Scrape 4 times
Lay them down for a nap”
You can also ask the kids to make their own character, letter or shape with their sticks. (Our sticks are durable with a high quality sound, safely short with one smooth and one ribbed.)
For more playful engaging musical action with rhythm sticks for your little music makers, join me for 3 exciting days of PD this summer! (Returning teachers including online training, current university students, and recent graduates, pay only half tuition when you come to Redondo Beach the end of June!)
Happy Spring! Happy Music Making,
