This is a fun way to establish rhythms with students from kindergarten on up, but I've found it works best from third grade through eighth grade, giving kids a way to not only learn aurally but visually and kinetically all at once! All you need are some sticks and some buckets, and it can be as easily as chopping up some dowel rods from your local hardware store, chopsticks from your local eatery, or even buying cheap drumsticks. As for buckets, I would highly recommend being friendly with you
