Shake that Bell! A Mini-Class
Oct 07, 2020Does your child love ringing a bell as much as my children do? There is something so satisfying about grasping the instrument, giving it a shake, and hearing the high, bright sound of bells! Join Elizabeth and Charlotte as they explore different ways to play the instrument (a beneficial open ended activity to try with any instrument), and sing a few different songs that feature bells:
- Shake that Bell -- explores high and low, both in pitch and in physical space
- Are You Sleeping -- classic nursery rhyme featuring the sound of bells: “Ding ding dong”
- Jingle Bug -- a Clap for Classics! original song that turns the bell into a little bug, who goes on adventures to the left, right, and behind the back.
If you don’t have a bell, grab any instrument that you can shake -- a maraca, an egg shaker, or even a tupperware container with small objects inside! Enjoy!
