Caroline and Melody Period 1
What You Need
Scissors and utility knife, markers, ruler, rubber bands, glue, tap (transparent, duct, masking, or colored), gift wrap or decorative paper,kraft paper, kid-size shoe box, paper-towel tube, cardboard tube from a
dry-cleaner hanger, cut into two 4-inch pieces, 6 brads, bread-bag tag
1. Remove the bread. Cover the box, lid, and paper-towel tube with the paper of your choice. Lay the tube on a table, positioning one end against the short side of the box and centering it along the bottom edge. Trace a circle around the tube. Draw 4 lines bisecting that circle (as if cutting a pie), then, with a utility knife, cut along the lines and through the box. Slide the tube through the bisected hole until it hits the other end of the box and secure it with tape.
2. Cut an oval in the center of the lid, then put it on the box.
3. Stretch 6 rubber bands lengthwise around the box.
4. Slide the 2 dry-cleaner–tube pieces (decorated with tape or paper, if desired) under the rubber bands above and below the oval. Glue to secure. This will allow the “strings” to twang. (Cut chopsticks wood.)
5. Screw the brads into the top of the cardboard-tube neck for the tuning pegs.
6. Pick away with the bread-bag tag picks
The instrument we are making is a box guitar.We predict that it will sound loud. We can strum it, tap on it like a drum, and tune it. Even though it is made out of recycled stuff we can make an instrument like our box guitar.

Shakers are instruments that require for you to shake them to make sound.
There are a family of them such as rain sticks and maracas.
You can also use shaker instruments in plays.
An example of this is using the rain stick to make rain sounds
and the thunder stick for large storm sounds.
