Drum Play

Parents have been saving coffee cans, infant formula cans and any other big can with a lid and bringing them in to StrongStart.  We finally had enough for a larger group, approximately 30, to use.  Here are a few songs that we sang using our DIY drums.

Boom Ditty Boom
Boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom
Down in the jungle where nobody goes
Lives a great big gorilla washing his clothes.
Playing boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom
Boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom

Down in the jungle where nobody goes
Was a very tall giraffe walking on his toes
 Playing boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom
Boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom

Down in the jungle where nobody goes
Was a great big elephant blowing his nose.
Playing boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom
Boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom

Down in the jungle where nobody goes
Was a pack of lemurs walking in a row
Playing boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom
Boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom

 Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Jingle Bells
And lastly Twinkle Little Star.

  1. Hi Maureen,
    I didn't know you were open during the summer, we follow the school year, so we're closed for the summer (Burnaby). Anyhow, I love how you used the coffee cans and the songs you sang with it....can't wait to try this with my families at my centre in the fall. Thanks!

    1. No we're not open during the summer, I'm just posting activities that I didn't have an opportunity to post during the school year. Have you heard about the facebook page for StrongStart facilitators? Email me if you want more information.
