Name A Musical Instrument After Yourself Day
At Home Family Fun:
- Get out some beans, old plastic Easter eggs, toilet paper tubes, rubber bands, oatmeal containers and anything else you can think of and start making creative musical instruments. Then name them after yourself.
- Watch This Is Minnesota Orchestra on TPT tonight at 8pm
Outing Idea:
Visit a park like Town Green Park in Maple Grove or Jackson Square Park in Minneapolis, where you can test out some playground instruments for ideas.
Read Aloud:
- Bigger Kids (8-9 years) John Philip Sousa (Getting to Know the World’s Greatest Composers) by Mike Venezia.
- Bookflix: Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin by Lloyd Moss paired with All About Sound by Lisa Trumbauer.
