WANDS Equipment: Pair of 12-48inch wooden dowels or wands for each player
Concepts: rhythm, cooperation
Objective: develop a rhythmic pattern of tapping sticks to a chant or music
Task: Stand in a circle holding the stick vertically in front of you. Establish a rhythm and begin adding variations. Maintaining the rhythm, click your two sticks together every few beats. Then, between touching them to the ground, click one or both of them against your partner’s sticks or your neighbors’ on either side. Try various combinations of all these. You may begin tossing sticks through the air to each other in time with the rhythm.
