Clap, Snap, and Tap

 

Dear First Graders,

Hello! Let's play a fun reading and music game with your family and friends. Print out this page and teach them how to clap, snap and tap the musical instrument word rhythms and syllables. Teach them the words in the instrument families first then mix the words up and see if they can clap, snap and tap the name of the instrument and the family! Have fun! Love, Ms. LaRoche

P.S. For extra fun, draw some of the instruments in the musical families.

 

Print this page and share it with your family and friends!
