Hi Caroline! What does SEN stand for? Did you mean SED?

I love this idea particularly for sequencing and improvisation. How do you think I could use this idea within a group activity of about 10 young SEN children?
Thanks, Caroline.

Was going to try it with a client last week but he was on an off day so not ideal to try new things! Will be trying it this week.

I made up another number game for a child who has motor and balance issues…..I put 1-10 on different blocks that he had to hop to the right numbers, while singin ‘1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive’….he had to pick up the fishy card too!:)

I posted this because it is along the same line as what you are talking about – multiple ‘drums’ and improvisation with purpose. Hope that is okay.

When appropriate I arrange the group in a circle and use Sound Shapes for drumming activities. At some point the circle closes in as close as possible and each person holds their shape toward the center of the circle. Each person then improvises, playing every shape with it’s varied timbre. The patients love it. It fosters expression, cooperation, hand /eye coordination, crossing mid-line, plus the smiles and laughter are a great emotional boost; for some of the patients their initiation to participate is a real accomplishment.

I have not put numbers on the drums for sequencing but we have done colors. One of my students just had a sequencing objective put on his IEP. It’s for stories but this will be great to do with him too. I’m thinking I can even add it to the sequencing pictures I have…put a drum by each picture….hey you have sparked some great ideas!
