What are some good music activites that involve fine motor skill?

Question

I am in this preschool class in my school and i am going to do a lesson plan for th kids. I need three fine motor skills and I need to know which ones will help me the most? List the title of the activity and instructions.

Answer 1

musical instruments are great - even just music sticks - crossing the midline.  Counting songs are great putting their fingers up one at a time and taking them away one at a time.  Sign language songs.

Answer 2

drawing or painting to music

Answer 3

little cymbals for the thumb and index finger....rhythm sticks and move them around and have them cross their midline

Answer 4

Well... listing the title and giving the instructions of 3 activities would definately be doing the work for you...but I can give you an idea :-)  Consider making instruments with them... great fine motor skill practice involved with making maracas or painting dowels for rythm sticks or stringing bells on pipe cleaners.  Good luck.
