Love this -- plus beats and rhythm are cornerstones of poetry! Set those hand claps to spoken poetry! Magic!

Clap-clap-clap for this kind of thinking! 🙌🙌 This is the kind of thing @JyotiGopal @diannewrites and I will be talking about at @ncte next month! Music, movement, art, play…and literacy!!!
Wendy Garland @wendygarland.bsky.social@dancelibrarian17 Oct 2024
I am trying to incorporate more movement in our library time. One choice this week was to learn (or teach) a hand clap. Music and rhythm speak to students. I love that there are no barriers to this kind of play. All you need are your hands and a friend!
