Did you know that basketballs can make music?

The class discovered that basketballs can make music.  One child discovered that basketballs make a great sound when you bounce them.  The whole class then gathered around, we bounced the balls and listened to the sound.  Children discussed that we should all bounce them to the same beat.  We decided to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and bounce the balls to the beat of the song.  Then another child decided to use the basketball like a bongo drum.  The class thought this was a great idea and all wanted to give it a try.  Watch the video below to see our impromptu performance.
