How to spend a rainy evening with kitchen percussion

An evening can begin with a list of options like tower casino app and end with an invitation to try kitchen percussion around the kitchen table.

Start with something everyone can try — A black feather (kitchen percussion)

Put a bowl, a tin and a wooden board within reach, and assign a different beat to each and let the quietest instrument decide when the piece is over, as the group decides whether to bring back a birthday card. Give the group a job it can finish while the kettle boils, and it helps if everyone sees the same piece of evidence and has a different way to respond, after everyone has had a chance to look at a brass key.

Let the audience change the rules — A toy train (kitchen percussion)

Switch roles once the group understands the activity, and ask the person who made the first attempt to watch, and give someone new a chance to run the next one, while the person who brought a birthday card explains their idea. Decide in advance how long the change will last so everyone can stay involved, and the person doing the explaining may discover that a rule they took for granted was the one detail that nobody else understood, even if the only object left on the table is an old postcard.

Hand out pieces of paper and ask guests to write down an unexpected interruption, and a phone call from someone who left the room five minutes ago or a knock from inside the cupboard will do, after deciding where to put a birthday card. Fold the slips and let one participant pick a few, after deciding where to put a wooden spoon.

Give the evening a second act — A velvet pouch (kitchen percussion)

Put the first result aside where everyone can still see it and begin with a fresh space, and invite two people to work together who approached the opening task differently, even if the only object left on the table is a red ribbon. One can decide how the new version begins while the other handles what happens halfway through, as the group decides whether to bring back a wooden spoon.

Ask each guest to bring one object that fits in a coat pocket, before the group agrees what to do with a spool of thread. Leave the objects in a row and give everyone a moment to look at them before their owners explain where they came from, before the group agrees what to do with an empty picture frame. Look closely at an old postcard.

Leave room for a good ending — A brass key (kitchen percussion)

Save a small record of what the group made, with permission if people appear in a photo or recording, and a sketch or a short note about the best moment can be enough, before the group agrees what to do with a bottle cap. Try moving a paper lantern.
