Create the Sounds of a Thunderstorm in the Classroom
Submitted by Virginia in Idaho
When the entire class performs the actions in unison, the effect is the sound of a thunder and rain storm as it builds then dissipates.
Create a thunderstorm.
The order is:
rub your hands together
snap your fingers
clap your hands together in an irregular cadence
slap your hands on your legs (at this time a student flicks a light switch on and off to represent lightning, while another beats a drum to symbolize thunder)
stomp your feet
slap your hands on your legs and stomp your feet (represents height of the storm)
stomp your feet
slap our hands on your legs
clap your hands together in an irregular cadence
snap your fingers
rub your hands together
open palms (quiet)
Have fun!
