Sound Travels #3 - Start and Stop

Walking our fingers on our bodies

Go/Stop game

Before going further into vibration, the children practiced the idea of starting and stopping. By practicing this, it helps them become more aware of the connection between vibration and sounds. And the song, "We are Going Walking" is the perfect one to do. The start of the song is our cue to start walking and we stop when the song stops. The children enjoyed walking their fingers along their bodies and anticipating where they would stop. After the song game, we played a Go/Stop game using signs. The objective of the game is to do what the signs say (go or stop).
