- This song is a high-energy song that was first danced to! It is written by Jacques Offenbach around 1840.
- For each colored symbol (like yellow triangle & green square), find some objects around your home you can use like percussion instruments.
- Here are some suggestions:
- A pot or bowl turned upside down and used as a drum
- Spoons
- Two pencils hit together like rhythm sticks
- A box of noodles or rice, used like a maraca
- What other object can you think of in your home that could be used as an instrument…?
- Assign each object to be one of the symbols (yellow triangle or green square, etc). If you can, have a sibling or parent play along with you – each of you pick one or two symbols to play! Enjoy creating music this way!
