Musical Cotton Balls
Skills Developed:
Fine motor Materials:
Clothespins
Cotton Balls
Music Instructions:
Sit together in a circle. Give each person a cotton ball and clothespin. The goal of this game is to use the clothespins to pass the cotton balls to the right and not have them piled up in front of you when the music stops. You can choose to prepare music ahead of time that has pauses recorded into it or simply pause it periodically yourself. Make sure the children know that they have to pick up the cotton ball and drop it, not just "slide" the cotton ball to the next person. Give everyone a cotton ball again and start the music and continue as often as you want. Variations:
-
If you are playing with 1 child, you may want to just use one cotton ball and see who has it when the music stops.
-
After a few times to the right, switch and have the passing go left.
