Partners discuss the likenesses and differences of their pictures. Partners repeat the activity with a different combination or different number of blocks. Students record their pictures by pasting die-cut pattern block shapes on paper. Each student selects a given number of toothpicks, e.g. 5, and glues the toothpicks in a design on a sheet of paper. Students continue to select 5 toothpicks and glue them into different designs on other sheets of paper.
Students work in pairs.
Partners play their sounds together the specified number of times and repeat several times with different sounds and different numbers. One partner or the teacher plays part of the 6 sounds with one instrument and the other partner or the rest of the students decide how many beats to play to make 6 altogether with the other sounds. Students discuss how they made their decisions. Students work in pairs or in a large group. The first partner or the teacher names a number and the second partner or all the students in the class try to touch only that number of body parts to the floor.
