Drumheller Dinosaur Dance Grade 1/2
The Grade 1/2 students did a lesson around the book "Drumheller Dinosaur Dance" by Robert Heldbreder.
Through this lesson, students were learning about the four different families of the non-pitched percussion (woods, metals, skins, shakers and scrapers). They also performed rhythms on non-pitched percussion.
After reading the book, we took out 4 sound phrases from the story: boomity boom, rattley clack, thumpity thump, whickety whack. These phrases repeat several times throughout the story.
The students decided which of the non-pitched percussion families represented each of the 4 phrases.
We did this activity 4 times so each student had a turn to play an instrument from each of the non-pitched percussion families.
