by Paul and Teresa JenningsNow you can let the fun children have with Boomwhackers® help you teach musical concepts. With this, the first in a series of innovative game kits, you can reinforce rhythmic learning and provide hours of educational enjoyment for your students. A lot of thought has gone into this game to make it a valuable tool for teaching students at various levels, and there are even options that let the game grow with you and your classes.One thing that makes this game set special is the Performance/Accompaniment CD. Among other things, it features versions of the song "B-I-N-G-O" which can be used in several ways, including as a special challenge between rounds of the game to remember just where the performance of the tune stopped. (We guarantee a good time with this part.) But that is just the start. There are also a number of interesting instrumental tracks that can be used in various ways as you play the game. While the game can be played without the CD, there are instructions on how to play the game several different ways with different Boomwhackers® and with students of different levels of knowledge.
