We have been using the Orff instruments a lot lately an have run into the same problem in almost every class. Even when we remind everyone that they should always walk AROUND the instruments, inevitably someone will try to walk over one and dump the whole thing over. Not only is this a bummer, it could result in broken instruments - a pricey problem! So, today, I decided we needed a visual reminder. Hopefully the kiddos will remember when they see the giant shoe stepping on the xylophone! :) ahhhh!

I use a chant with my kids: "instead of walking over, walk around (clap 3 times)... Walk around (clap 3 times)."

I put the prices on the instruments to reinforce their value. They had no idea how expensive they were to replace.I also told them mallet prices. You should have heard their voices when they came in that day to my room!
