PLAY With Your Instrument!

What you need

Use any of the shakers from our CREATE section Suggested music to accompany these activities:

Start playing the piece of music- when you say ‘play’ they can grab their instrument and start making music!
When you say ‘pause’ it’s time to put the instrument down.
Play some music and say ‘play’ to begin playing and ‘pause’ to stop, stopping the music at the same time. After some practice, try just using the music without your words as the cue for when to play.

Start with fast and slow – when you say fast they play fast, when you say slow, they play slow!
Next try loud and soft, and then try with all four instructions together!
