Musical Activities for Guaranteed
Fun
By Deborah Shelton
Music has the power to calm, sooth,
energize and make everyone have fun!
Try these ideas at your child's
next play date or sleepover for a guaranteed good time.
1. Jamming Art:
Turn on some music-upbeat or mellow-you
decide. Without looking directly at the paper, draw pictures and
designs to the beat of the music. Make several drawings from different
types of music.
2. Animal Walk Parade:
Play your favorite tunes on the
radio and dance and walk the way your favorite animal would. Remember,
the more friends you invite to play, the more fun your parade
will be!
3. Music Maker Box:
Fill a small trunk, box, or dresser
drawer with musical instruments for when inspiration strikes.
Purchase inexpensive instruments at garage sales, or make your
own including tambourines, strands of jingle bells and film canister
maracas.
4. Dance Party:
Invite your friends over for a
dance party! Ask each guest to bring along a cassette tape or
CD with his or her favorite music. Play a song or two from each
CD and dance the night away. For super cool invitations, use a
permanent marker to write the details of the party on those free
Internet CDs that come in the mail.
