Drummer Boy/ Girl- Listening Activity

Today we continued our lesson on listening. This also incorporates waiting your turn so win for all kids! Today we played a game that I call drummer boy/girl. We only have one toy drum in the classroom which I used and I gave the kids a pots and pans with kitchen utensils that we use for play. They were all excited because what kid does not like to play with mom's cookware. We sat in a circle and went clock wise all chanting drummer boy/girl, drummer boy/girl play that beat. They loved it! It was funny to see them really concentrating on their beat ( they love their time to shine!). We rotated the different drumming items so each kid could have the chance to use and hear the different "drums". By the way this was played in the morning and afternoon.
That was our activity for the day.
A sweet moment that I captured was Older A asking J to read her book she brought from home. He and little A were sitting in the chair snuggled up when she asked. He read them 5 Little Monkeys.
The love of friendship!
