#MoreCowbellChallenge

STEP 1: get in the spirit with this vintage video

STEP 2: grab your cowbell & play along

If you have a cowbell – now’s the time to ROCK that thing. 

But don’t let a lack of cowbell stop you. Pots, pans, cups, cans, spoons, drums – all work great.

PARENTS: this is a great time to find (or make) some rhythm instruments so your kids to play along with music and develop their sense of rhythm. 

BONUS ACTIVITY: play along to the original song.

Try PAUSING when the rhythm stops (at timecode 1:09)…
& then come back in when you hear the cowbell.

Here we go – 2, 3. 4….
