A say-and-play method gets you jamming' fast with these drums on a stick! Play interactive games between adult and child or with small student groups. Explore pitch differences, and see if you can recognize by ear which is the sun, moon, or star by its relative pitch (and discuss how size and pitch are related). Match rhythm patterns, pitch patterns, and combine. If 2 sets of drums are available, play echo matching games. For directional pre-reading experience, draw sun, moon, and star symbols in different patterns on a chart or chalk board for students to play and say.
Drum includes 2 mallets and online guide.
Teacher Tip: Add sun, moon, and star masks, and have students individually recreate the sounds they hear on their particular drum, or combine into a visual ensemble the patterns they hear. Great fun for ear training, prereading, rhythm-making, and movement too!
