PLAY With Your Instrument 2!

Move It! with shakers

Play some lively, fun, music and ask the kids to play their shakers either ‘up high’ above their heads, ‘down low’ near their toes, ‘in front’ near their belly buttons, or ‘around the back’ behind their backs.

Repeat Me!

1. Play a beat or rhythm with a shaker and kids repeat it back to you.
2. Keep it simple with patterns like ‘Shake Shake’ or ‘Shake Shake Shake’
3. Reintroduce the ‘fast and slow’ concepts from the previous games – two fast shakes or four very slow shakes etc.
