I Have Instrume nts
I have instruments, yes I do,
I have instruments hidden away. I have instruments, yes I do,
But which one will I play?
1. Have some percussion instruments hidden in your sparkly bag. Sing the song then play one of the instruments inside the bag. Reveal the instrument, name it, play it again and hand it to a baby ready to use in the next exercise. Repeat with two or three other instruments and then hand instruments to all the children that do not have one yet.
1. Pick two unpitched instruments and show them to the children one at a time. Play them so they know what each one sounds like and teach the children the name of the instrument. Hide the instruments inside your sparkly bag and sing the song on your own. When you have finished singing, play one of the instruments inside your bag. The children must guess which instrument was played. If the children have trouble deciding which instrument it is, ask one or two of them to feel the instrument and guess again.
