Today you get to play:

A RAINSTICK!!!
(and also "egg" shakers!)

First of all, you need to know that the RAINSTICK
is a member of the PERCUSSION FAMILY

This is a video about the percussion family:


PERCUSSION is any instrument that you HIT, WHACK, SHAKE or RUB.



How a RAINSTICK is Made



What's inside?



WOW - there are all different sizes!
(don't watch all of this one - it's a little long. Just use the bar at the bottom to move through and see the different size rainsticks)



NOW PLEASE PASS AROUND THE RAINSTICK (on my desk)
and also the two egg shakers (they look like eggs!)
Please make sure everyone gets a decent turn.
We "lean" the rainstick back and forth, not shake it
We DO shake the eggs, though!




Now you can use the stuffed "bee" (at my desk) to play hot potato!

This video automatically stops for you






If you have any more time, you can use these videos to dance!
