Even great activities can go wrong!
Even great activities can go wrong!
The topic that I’m following this term is food. On Monday I did an activity with the children that I have done many times: bouncing cotton wool balls on Lycra as if popcorn is popping in a pan. The children were having a wail of a time. The problem was the new cotton wool I bought left a little behind each time it fell on the carpet. A fluffy mess! So at the end of the session I was left struggling to vacuum it off the carpet.
Why am I telling you this?
Even activities that you know are great can go wrong but don’t let that put you off. I did the same activity yesterday with huge success and no fluff on the carpet. How? By putting a big piece of fabric on the carpet to avoid the mess. Easy, problem solved! If you do a musical activity and it goes wrong don’t let that stop you. Just try it a different way next time.
Happy music making!
