Give instruments to your students

Hand the instrument you've chosen out to the class. I like to have the students close their eyes while I hand out instruments as quickly as possible.
The second they open their eyes, play the instruments with the chant.
If you do this chant every time you hand out instruments, it not only manages behaviors and instantly engages kids, they get to explore the instrument right away.

Play with "Play and Stop!"
