Sibling group leaders
Whether you are setting up a sibling group for the first time or have been running groups for many years, this section will give you guidelines and activities to help you run your group
Mood music
Purpose
A fun way to learn about different emotions, using musical instruments
You will need
A selection of simple musical or percussion instruments, such as:
Xylophone
Cymbals
Tambourine
Trumpet
Tin whistle
Recorder
Drum
(Just 2 or 3 of these should do)
Paper and pencil
How to do it
Write different feelings onto pieces of paper. Fold them up and put them into a suitable container.
The sibling selects a piece of paper and looks at the feeling.
The sibling picks an instrument and plays it in such a way as to express the feeling. You have to guess what the feeling is.
Repeat by taking turns to choose a feeling and play the intrument.
Thanks to Neil Eaves at Rainbows Hospice for this idea.
