BOOMWHACKER Primary Pack - 3 elementary-aged resources @ 20% off
By Jason Litt
Ready to start your kids on boomwhackers (or would like an end of the year review?)
Here in this primary pack geared towards your younger students, you will get 3 great resources at 20% when purchased here all together!
Boom and Response (Call and Response for Boomwhackers!)
In this resource, there are 3 tracks totally 5 minutes that you can play for your students (and repeat if necessary). Each track is a specific amount of beats for the "Call" (4 beats, 6 beats, or 8 beats) with the same amount of empty beats that follow directly after -- and thats where you students submit their "Response"
BoomBox (25 sight reading patterns for BEGINNING Boomwhackers!)
Students will see a series of 8 to 12 boxes with corresponding boomwhacker colors filled in each box. When played, the teacher will count off the students to read down the Boomwhacker boxes from left to right, line by line.
Boom in a FLASH! (Boomwhackers against the clock!)
Students will see one Boomwhacker color appear on the screen (PowerPoint presentation). The student who is holding that Boomwhacker must play the note (on the ground, hand, elbow, desk, whatever have you!), and then they automatically advance to the next slide... to another color!
Keep it going, keep reading because... they're being timed! They will have 30 seconds to amass as many notes as they can (timer included) before the time runs out and they look at their high score (which is kept below).
Enjoy these and let us know how it goes with your kids!
