PWA Try this Choose four or five household items that would make good drums without being too fragile. Try plastic bowls or cardboard boxes. Lay them out between you and {LEARNER_FNAME} so they are all within easy reach.    Take turns coming up with sequences of drum beats by tapping on different drums with your hands (for example, first tap a bowl, then a box). Start with two beats. Have {LEARNER_FNAME} repeat the sequence by tapping on the same drums. Then it’s {POS_PRONOUN} to come up with a two-beat sequence for you to try to copy. When {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can do two-beat sequences a few times in a row, add another beat, so {SUBJ_PRONOUN} plays three beats in a row. Keep adding beats when the sequence gets easy. See how many {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can remember in a row.
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Keep track of how many times {LEARNER_FNAME} can remember which drums to play. Each time {SUBJ_PRONOUN} plays three sequences in a row successfully, add one more. What is the longest sequence {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can remember?
PWA Why this matters This fun drumming activity helps to develop working memory, using both motor memory (remembering which drums to tap) and auditory memory (remembering what sound each drum makes). UTM-EM-049-MAR-21
