Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime
Play guide
- 1Use only this ready list: violin, cello, flute and trumpet. One person silently mimes the basic playing position of one instrument.
- 2The other person gets two guesses, then the performer reveals the answer.
- 3Change roles with a different instrument. Use the direct Philharmonia pages in the previous activity only if you want to check a playing position later.
Success signals
The child recalls a real instrument-playing posture through a short physical game.
If it's tricky
If instrument gestures are unfamiliar, look at the four pictures first and then play with the page still open.
