Ribbon Wands

Preschoolers and Kindergarteners are exploring their voices using ribbon wands.  We were lucky enough to get ribbon wands as part of a grant through Fuel Up to Play 360.  Thank you to Mrs. Woods for using the grant money she got to get such great music and movement tools!  You can read more about the grant she got at her website here.

Students copied shapes Miss Dagenais made with her ribbon and echoed the vocal slide sounds she made.  This developed a kinesthetic relationship between high and low, because students had their entire body involved.  Vocal slide sounds are a great way to make students use a healthy singing voice.  Our kindergarteners and preschoolers are working on making a connection between these vocal glissandos and their own singing voices.
