Close your eyes and lie on the ground for 5 minutes. Then write, type, dictate or tell someone else what you heard. Describe the sounds using words such as high/low, fast/slow, loud/soft, long/short, smooth/choppy.
Make up a song, by yourself or with others, that uses items found in your house that make interesting sounds. Weave in different rhythmic patterns and a variety of different sounds (such as wooden, metal, scrapy, or shaky).
Search for songs that express your feelings right now. These may or may not have lyrics. Think about why these songs touch your heart. You may want to add:
Journaling
Drawing
Movement
Painting
Create or perform a song that is meaningful to your family. Perhaps create it with your family, and sing, play or dance it together.
Go outside and listen (perhaps even blindfolded). Move in response to what you hear.
Create your own theme song! Include lyrics about who you are and what you stand for.
Discuss with your household members how music impacts your lives.
Create a dance that expresses your feelings. Post it to your class, if you like.
Interview adults in your household about the music they listened to when they were growing up.
Take a silent walk with someone in your household who you feel comfortable holding on to, while blindfolded. Walk for 10-20 minutes. Then, take off your blindfold and describe what you heard, and how it felt. Switch roles.
