I use these cards for a Timbre Game where the children sit in a circle. (Similar to hot potato).
In the middle are a selection of instruments (range of materials and methods of playing).
Someone picks a card. Then sing together, while passing an object around the circle:
Use ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ as the tune. The lyrics are: 'Can you make a (e.g) spiky sound, We would like a spiky sound. Use the in-stru-ments you see, come and make this sound for me. Can you make a spiky sound, we would like a spiky sound. Whoever the object stops on, comes to the middle to make that timbre.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
This is just what I needed to help with the quite tricky area of timbre for young learners. Thank you so much for the idea and the resource.
Thank you - very useful.
Thank you, I'm going to try this with year 2. Their topic is materials, so timbre coincides nicely :)
Thank you!
