First Fridays- A Story. A Song. An Activity (The Best Mariachi in the World)

If you have ever had the pleasure
of hearing a live Mariachi Band

then you probably remember... 

the distinct sound of each instrument
the strength and unity felt within the song
and the powerful vocals that brought it all together

 So for today and every day,
let's enjoy...

The Sound of Mariachi:
Celebrating Latinx Heritage through Music


First Fridays- A Story. A Song. An Activity
Virtual Storytime

A Story...


A Song...

Connect to Latin culture by listening to a Mariachi band
 
(while introducing children) 

to the English and Spanish names of the 
musical instruments in a traditional Mariachi band


If I Had a Mariachi | 123 Andres

Watch the video with children
as they distinguish between... 

a trumpet
a guitar
a violin

to determine which instrument makes their favorite sound


An Activity...


DIY Paper Tube Maracas

Paper tubes
Tissue Paper
Glue Stick

and an appropriate

Noise maker "filler of choice"
(*we used leftover birdseed)

Decorate paper tubes by layering and gluing
colorful pieces of tissue paper onto the tube. 

Seal one end and fill with your noise maker "filler"

(variations shown include yarn and tape)

Seal the other end and now... 
You are ready to join the band!!
