Music and Sound Crafts Shakers  You need small bottles or containers, cardboard circles to fit the top of the containers, sticky tape, rectangles of paper to decorate the shakers, pens, funnels or spoons, rice and beans. Each Rainbow puts some rice and/or beans into her container. She then seals the end with the cardboard and sticky tape. To decorate her shaker she writes her name and draws a pattern or picture onto a piece of rectangular paper. She then sticks this onto her shaker. Balloon
Drums
  You need small bottles, cut up balloons, elastic bands, sticky tape, rectangles of paper and pens to decorate the drum. In pairs Rainbows help each other to stretch the balloon square over the top of the bottle and secure it with an elastic band. Rainbows can then decorate a rectangle of paper and stick it onto the bottle. Guitars   You need rectangular containers, elastic bands with
different thicknesses, cardboard tubes, pens and sticky tape. Wrap the elastic bands round the container to make the strings. Stick the tube to the end of the container and decorate. If you have elastic bands that are long enough the Rainbows can experiment with wrapping the elastic bands round the tube and container. Games  String bagsRainbows get in pairs and form two lines. Each pair is given the name of a musical instrument. When their name is called out they run round their team and back to their place. The first Rainbow back wins a point for their team. If 'orchastra' is called out, all the Rainbows run.  Sounds of the RainforestThe Rainbows stand in a circle and are told
they are going to make the noise of a rain storm in the Rainforest. The
leader starts by tapping their fingers. The person to the left of the
leader taps their fingers, then the person to the left of her and so on
until everyone is tapping their fingers. The leader then claps their
hands and sends this round the circle. The leader then claps their
hands on their thighs, then gently stamps their feet, then stomps their
feet. The leader then does the noises in reverse until everyone is
silent once more. You can repeat this with new leaders and new sounds.
 OrchastraOne Rainbows is chosen as the conductor. She
points at the Rainbows she wishes to play their instrument and then
points at them again when she wishes them to stop playing.
This can also be done with girls having
particular sounds (e.g. 'quack' 'moo' and 'squeek') and saying their
sound when they are pointed at.
Music Man
Rainbows sit in a circle. One Rainbow is
chosen to leave the room/cover their eyes. Another Rainbow is chosen to
be the music man. They pretend to play an instrument and everyone else
has to copy. The music man should keep changing which instrument they
are pretending to play. The first Rainbow stands in the centre of the
circle and tries to guess who the music man is.
