Questions to Consider:

• What kinds of things could you put inside the pepper to make different sounds?
• Try guessing what the sounds will be like from each of those. 
• After you make your shaker, and hear the sound, how would you describe it?
• What happens when more than one family member is playing together? 
• What happens when you try different kinds of rhythms? Which do you like the best?

Fun at Home!

• First, view the video of the entire musical performance on vegetables. Isn’t it amazing?
• Next, watch the video on how to make the shaker-type instrument from a green pepper and whatever you decide to put inside.
• For a fun “green” additional activity, compost the fruit or vegetable afterwards. 

Here is a video of a musical piece performed on vegetable instruments!‍
