Montessori colorful chimes

How to use the chime:

Equipment:
Colorful bells in the C major scale (8 bells)
A mat or blanket
A bell hammer

Procedure:
1. Place the bells on the mat or carpet in order from C to C, with the lowest note (C) on the left and the highest note (C) on the right. You can arrange the bells in a straight line or a circle.

2. Show the child the bell with the lowest note (C) and tell them that this is the note C. You can sing a C note or play it on an instrument.

3. Gently strike the bell with the hammer. Let your child listen to the tone. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each bell in order, going up in pitch. Tell your child the name of each note as you play it.

4. Once you have played all the bells once, you can start playing simple melodies. You can use the sheet music that is on the website under "free learning materials".

Encourage your child to experiment with the bells on their own. They can make up their own melodies or play along with you.

Tip:

You can use the colors of the bells to help your child learn musical notes. You can download the music cards located under "free learning materials" and place the correct note under the correct bell.

You can also use the bells to teach your child about rhythm. For example, you can ring the bells at a steady pace or in a more complex rhythmic pattern.
