Show the children a variety of objects such as empty coffee containers, cardboard tubes from dry cleaner pants hangers or empty bottles with a few beans inside. Ask them to brainstorm how these items could be used as instruments. Encourage them to add other classroom items to the selection. Play some lively music and enjoy your homemade instruments. Take dictation for a class language experience chart, “If you don't have a _____, you can use a _______ instead.” This could be done in large group.
