Begin the lesson by having students decorate the empty cans and rings using the paint and paintbrushes.
**Be sure there are no sharp edges that the student’s might accidentally cut themselves on.** Allow the materials to dry. Next, using the nail and hammer make a small hole in the bottom of the cans. Tie the bells onto the string and tread it through the holes you just made. Tie the Mason jar rings together with the string so that they are able to clink against each other. Go outside and hang the instruments on a small tree or bush, making sure the students can reach. Invite the students to make music using the wooden spoons, kitchen utensils, and paint brushes (they can all potentially make different sounds). |
