What’s a banana got to do with a Music Time?

The banana has been a great stimuli for conversations with the children. They smell it just before we do the listening activity and they tell me whether they like it or not and other information that they would like to share. I then tell them bananas grow where it is warm and one of these places is in the Caribbean. We then imagine we are on the warm beach in the Caribbean eating a banana. Then we listen to ‘Under the Sea’ from the Little Mermaid (as it has a Caribbean feel to the music) and the children pretend they are swimming under the sea: sea fabric and bubbles = GREAT FUN! Adding sensory elements to a Music Time add to the magic. What sensory elements could you add? Happy music making!
