Spring Rhythms with at home instruments
This is the third step in the spring rhythms assignment, you have your word rhythms and body percussion, now I want you to add your instruments. Even though some students do not have real instruments at home, there is lots of things that make noise.
Some example of at home instruments who be: Spoons, pots, pans, pencils, pens, elastic bands, etc. (try to come up with your own)
You will take your three lines of rhythm and add your new instruments. I would suggest not having more than 4-5 "at home instruments" in your song. To many instruments to switch in between may be confusing. Feel free to video your final spring song and send to me, in your video show and tell the instruments you are going to use.
See Ms Porco's example below (I only did two lines please do all three of yours):

Continuing Carnival of the Animals
Lion
1. Take a listen and look at the map.
You will hear parts of the song that sound like the lion is walking, but some parts sound like the lion is roaring! When the lion is roaring, what direction do you think the notes are going? Does the music get louder in parts? Listen again!
​
2.Draw your own listening map! Get a piece of paper, then fold the paper in half like a hamburger bun. One one side of the paper, make a row of 8 pawprints. To make a pawprint, draw one circle about the size of your thumb, then draw four smaller circles above the first one. On the other side of your paper, draw a shape that looks like a hill. This will be the line to trace when the lion roars! When you have finished your listening map, play the video again, and tap the beat when the music sounds like walking on the pawprints, and then trace the hill shape when the lion roars!

Stella Ella Olla with your family
Lyrics:
Stella Ella Ola
clap clap clap
singing ess chiko chik-o
chiko chiko cracker jacker
ess chiko chik-o
baloney, baloney
with cheese and macaroni!
so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
"Stella Ella Ola" is a clapping game where players stand or sit in a circle placing one hand over her or his neighbour's closer hand and sing the song.
On every beat, a person claps their higher hand onto the touching person's palm. The cycle continues until the song ends at which point if the person's hand is slapped, they are considered "out" and must stand or sit in the center of the circle, or leave the circle and watch from the edges.
If the player to be slapped pulls her or his hand away fast enough, the person who attempted to slap the hand is out.
(song above if you do not know it)
