MUSICAL SCAVENGER HUNT
(from BYU Arts Partnership)
Look around your house and find the following sounds. An object you find may fit more than one of the items to the right. For example, a metal pot lid tapped with a wooden spoon is something you tap, it is metal, it can be loud, and it may be quiet.
Arrange the items into three categories: metal, plastic, wood. Start over and arrange the items into four categories based on how you make each sound: shake, tap, scrape, blow. Can you change the sound of the object? Can you make it louder, quieter, higher, or lower? Arrange from low sounds to high sounds.
- Something you rattle or shake
- Something you tap
- Something you scrape
- Something you blow in or across
- Something metal
- Something plastic
- Something wood
- Something that can make a loud sound
- Something that can make a quiet sound
- Something that makes a low sound
- Something that makes a high sound
- Something that makes a short sound
- Something that makes a long sound
