Have the children make kazoos. You will need cardboard tubes in different lengths to make different sounds, wax paper, rubber bands, a sharp pencil or other sharp object to poke holes with, and paint or other art supplies to decorate the kazoos (optional). Cover the end of the cardboard tube with wax paper and secure it with a rubber band. Poke a hole in the side of the tube using a sharp pencil or other sharp object. Now the children can paint or decorate their kazoos. To play them, put the open end of the tube up to a child's mouth and hum, or repeat “doo, doo, doo,” to make the kazoo sound. This will take some practice. Play music and encourage the children to play along with their kazoos.
