The Cup Song Continued...
Follow along with the video to review and finish learning the cup song. You will need a plastic cup and a hard surface (a table or the floor). Once completed, click the button to record a Flipgrid of yourself doing the pattern. You will need to sign in with your @lethsd.ab.ca email.
Game : If you want to extend the pattern you can make it into a game you can play with your family. Once everyone has learned the pattern sit in a circle. Everyone should have their own cups. Do the pattern together (in sync) but at the end when you place your cup down move it to the right, "passing" it off to the next person. You then repeat the pattern with the cup on your left, slowly changing cups with each run through of the pattern.

Extra : Explore Colourful Sounds - Kandinsky
Click the button to go to Chrome Music Labs Kandinsky. This experiment is inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, an artist who compared painting to making music. It turns anything you draw – lines, circles, triangles, or scribbles – into sound. Try writing your name and see what its shapes can create. Draw with shapes and colours to create a unique melody of your very own.
Fun Fact : Did you know that some people "see" music instead of just hearing it. This neurological condition is called synesthesia. Synesthetes can often “see” music as colors when they hear it. Watch the video below to learn about how Kandinsky heard colour.
