Cardio drumming is a phenomenon catching on around the world and our students deserve to experience every fitness option we can provide for them. However, we are not only hoping to improve their physical fitness. Drumming is a great workout for your brain as well, when you drum you access your entire brain and that improves cognitive function.
Drumsticks and exercise balls have been chosen for this project. The drumsticks will be utilized to complete separate lessons initially the sticks will be used alone to establish the following: Fine motor development and hand-eye coordination, Language development and listening skills, Rhythm, beat, and tempo, creative thinking and problem solving, and even early brain development.
We will play some games and gradually add some more challenging movements to the activities. The sticks will then be used along with the exercise balls to add a new dimension to the rhythm and movement concept. The exercise balls will be utilize year round. They will provide alternative seating in classrooms when not in use in the gym and those that stay in the gym will be used to help in other physical education lessons. This equipment will be used with every child in our building as all children enjoy movement and percussion.
This unique combination of an aerobic workout with drumming added in will allow student to let out their inner rock star! No matter what level student are at they will develop their sense of confidence as an individual and because this is a group activity it will also improve their sense of community. All of our students deserve the opportunity to rock out and get fit!
