Fun Music Ideas to Try!

Music Interviews: Interview members about their musical backgrounds and interests. What is their favorite song right now and why? What instruments do they play? What does music mean to them? Who are their favorite artists? Record the responses you get and answer the questions yourself too!

Instrument Invention: Invent a new instrument! You can draw a picture of it and describe how it is played, how it's constructed, and what it sounds like, or even make one out of recycled materials!

Hand-Washing Dance Choreography: This is a fun one! Try to choreograph a short dance routine incorporating the different ways we're recommended to wash our hands (scrubbing nails, between fingers, etc). Check out this one for inspiration.

Listening Log: Write down music that you hear each day. Depending on the student age, students can also record information about the songs, like the title/ artist, genre, mood, time signature, tempo, instrumentation, etc, or they could draw a picture in response to the music!

Singing Log: Write down songs that you sing each day. You can even sing along with a recording, sing by yourself, or sing with your family!
