In large group we explored rhythm sticks and then danced around the circle with them. At first some of the children were worried about them hurting their ears but everyone gave them a try and saw that they weren't that loud. We tapped them together softly to make different tones and sounds using different areas of the sticks. When we put the music with them, we tapped them up high, down low, to the side, and in front of us.
Learning how to use the rhythm sticks before we get up to move around.
Dancing around the circle as we keep the rhythm up high.
