WEEK 7: PLAY MUSIC
The
second to last week of the summer reading program has flown by! This
week we broke the library's rule of being quiet and we made quite the
racket making some music. Our question of the day was : If you could play any instrument what would it be? Almost everyone answered either piano or guitar, they were very popular instruments!
The story we read was:
The first activity we did was play some music together! We each got two shakers and together we made a song. Some of the different sounds we made were : shake with your right hand, shake with your left, clap your hands together, shake as fast as you can and so much more!
The second story we read was:
The next game we played was "Name that Tune". I hummed different songs and the kids had to guess what I was singing! The songs I hummed were : Happy Birthday, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, If You're Happy and you know it, Frosty the snowman and I'm a little teapot.
The last book we read was:
Then we went outside and played a game of limbo! We each chose our favourite song and then we saw how low we could go!!
Our craft for today was a paper plate tambourine:
Materials
- Paper plates
- Hole punch
- Yarn
- Markers
- Decorate the tambourine with: craft foam shapes, sequins, glitter glue, etc.
- Dried beans
- Decorate outside of paper plates as desired.
- Fill one plate about 1/4 or less of the way full of dried pasta or beans (or similar material).
- Put the other plate over the first and staple around the edge (about 4 staples).
- Punch holes all the way around the plates (we punched 2 holes between each set of staples to make 8 holes in total).
- Lace the plates together with string or wool
- Shake your tamborine!
