Incredibox Level 2
Incredibox is a free site where you and your students can express your musicality by using a combination of loops to create your own music.
Watch the two videos to get an idea of how easy this site is to use and how you can get a shared link to submit for this badge.
Account: No account is required, but they ask for email when downloading your creation or getting a shared link. Use a teacher email for younger students.
For "Littles" - Create this as a class using your interactive whiteboard! Don't use vocals and record them singing a familiar song using this as the background.

WARNING - I have been alerted by a teacher that the captcha you have to submit to share / save your song may have words you don't want to explain to young students, such as "foreplay".
