Boom Boom WHACK

by Stephanie Leavell

Typically speaking, boomwhacker interventions are designed for melodies. When you’re working with younger kids, trying to build a satisfying and rhythmically accurate melody in a group is not a realistic goal, so this song works on RHYTHM.

Tippity Tap

by Stephanie Leavell

A tippity tap and a tick tock, tick tock

We all play then we all stop

A tippity tap and a tick tock, tick tock

We all play some music

A tippity tap, and we go fast

We go fast, we go fast

A tippity tap, and we go fast

While we play some music

A tippity tap, and we slow down

We slow down, we slow down

A tippity tap, and we slow down

And then we fall asleep

A tippity tap and a tick tock, tick tock

We all play then we all stop

A tippity tap and a tick tock, tick tock

We all play some music
