One Man Band

The idea is for you to become the instrument.
What You Need:
  • Things that make noise found around the house
  • bells, beans, milk bottle tops, pan lids, bicycle horns, harmonica, spoons, chains, glass bottles, whistle, homemade drums, tambourine
What To Do:
  1. As you move around banging your knees together, wiggling your head, and shaking your feet, music will be made! Here are some ideas:
  2. Mouth: blow a harmonica, whistle, glass bottle, recorder, or kazoo.
  3. Neck: hang bells, use string to hang a drum, xylophone, or tambourine.
  4. Under the arm: a bike horn tied to your upper arm so when you press your arm to your side a honking sound is made.
  5. Waist: drum, xylophone, small pots, or metal objects tied together.
  6. Elbow and wrist: tie on small bells.
  7. Hands: shaking a rattle, playing drums.
  8. Knees: tie things to clash against each other like foil plates, cymbals, saucepan lids, or small tins filled with dried beans.
  9. Ankles: tie bells, jingles, or a rattle.
