Toddler through School Age
Today we enjoyed playing matching games with instrument memory cards! We also sang and danced while playing large motor musical games, and did some fun fingerplays as well.
For groups a little too young to play memory, we used the cards to learn new vocabulary words. The included instruments were: tambourine, saxaphone, gutiar, violin, snare drum, xylophone, trombone, french horn, trumpet, flute, clarinet, piano and maracas.
We also graphed the results of reoccurring instruments and school age children played a thought provoking game of "guitar" hang man and also had a question and answer session geared around the instruments we were learning about.
For our infant class, we had a fun teacher and child sing along with the guitar including our favorite tunes like "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window" and "Five Little Ducks Went Out To Play".
