Guide for activities with your child:

First, show and tell what the instrument is made of, how the sound is produced, and why you should not press the cymbals. Pay attention to exactly where you should hold the tool. Invite your child to play the tambourine by hitting it on the palm of your hand: in front of you, behind you, above your head; hitting the instrument on the elbow, knee, shoulder. Show the difference in sound: when the tambourine is shaken continuously and when the shaking is rare and short. After the child has mastered various playing techniques, you can teach him to perform a rhythm using these techniques.

Show your child how loud a tambourine can ring, and how quiet, like a babbling brook, its sound can be. The tambourine can be used as an accompaniment in sports activities, when staging plays and for voicing fairy tales (it started to rain, thunder roared).

Give your child more opportunities for independent activities, encourage the creation of his own rhythmic patterns, developing the child’s creative abilities.
