Materials needed: Enough for each group to have two tambourines, a
maraca, a set of bells, and one hula hoop.
Procedure:
AS: Has anyone here ever played with things around the house to see what
kind of sounds they make? Well today we will be working with these really
cool things that make their own kinds of noises.
   1. Have the students sit in circles of 4 around a hula hoop.
   2. Explain what each instrument is and demonstrate how to play it.
   3. Give each student one instrument.
   4. Explain that they need to pass the instruments around to each other in
      a circle when they hear, “round and around they go” in the song.
   5. Explain that they stop and play the instrument, when the song says to
      stop and play the instrument.
   6. Play the song for them and make sure to monitor so that everyone is
      getting a turn with instruments.
Closure: What kind of instruments did we play with today? Did they each
make their own sound? How did we know when to play the instrument?
  Educational Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will have learned . . .
  The different sounds of instruments and how to play certain instruments
