Find an empty plastic bottle or pot with a lid. Fill it with rice, lentils, dried beans, peas or small stones. Will different quantities produce different sounds? Secure the lid and shake! Why don’t you have a go, you could even create your own band using lots of containers.

Share your videos or pictures of you with your shaker using our hashtag #30daysFroebel. Maybe your shaker will be used in another activity on the #30daysFroebel challenge!

Children and adults are naturally drawn to music and musicality – they are important aspects of our human lives. Songs can be soothing, comforting, motivating, exciting… Songs can be used as a cultural tool, bringing people together, conveying values, giving courage. (Tina Bruce & Jane Dyke 2017)
