Our 5th annual summer piano party was lots of fun despite the rain!
Thankfully, we were still able to have the obstacle course, but we only played one inning of water balloon baseball before it was raining too hard. However, this year I was more prepared for the rain and planned games that could be modified to work in the garage: 'This or That', musical chairs (voted one of the children's favorite games), rhythm toss, and 'Name that Tune'.
To make things more interesting, I played music for the musical chairs using my glockenspiel. If a student 'got out', they were invited to play along with me on the next round. I also used my glockenspiel for 'Name that Tune'. This instrument proved to be ideal for the situation: small, portable, no electricity required, and my students can play it with me. :)
