The students have been very excited to try them out and quite a few of them had seen music activities on social media that used them so they were extra interested. \r\n\r\nThe first activity we used them for was a jumping pattern to the beat along with Michael Jackson's \"Thriller\" during our class periods at the end of October. We laid out the rings in a 4x6 grid and the students made lines on opposite sides of the grid and jumped their way through the pattern. This required a lot of concentration, rhythm, teamwork, and focus to perform. If anyone jumped at the wrong time it would throw everyone else off, so it was a fun challenge to get it right and make all the jumpers fit together as they moved through the grid. Some 6th grade classes got so into it that they were running the pattern on their own without background music or me reminding them what to do, and they begged to do it again at the end of class!\r\n\r\nWe have also been using the rings for creative play in younger grades. We just reached the time of year when classes have earned some reward time. One of their options is free, unstructured play with the various items and props we have in the music room. The agility rings have been a very popular addition to the choices and students as young as kindergarten have been using them as hula hoops, hop scotch patterns, rolling wheels, and more. \r\n\r\nI look forward to using these supplies in many more activities this year and for years to come. What a versatile addition to our movement supplies!
