Has anyone tried 5 scarf juggling as a means of learning the pattern...?

I teach a couple kindergarten music classes and they're not too far beyond preschool, so maybe some of these things will work for you too.\n\nI play the "hot and cold" game except with loud and soft.  One student hides an item in the room.  Another student looks for it.  As he/she gets closer to the item, the rest of the class claps louder.  As they get further away, they clap more softly.  This teaches them dynamics.\n\nI also play a singing game where we use a stuffed animal that correlates with the season.  Right now I am using a turkey.  One student puts their back to the rest of the class.  I give the turkey to a student that is behaving well.  The entire class sings "Who has the turkey?" on Mi - Do - Fa- Mi - Do on the following rhythm. \nquarter, eighth, eighth, quarter, quarter.  (One syllable per pitch)  After the entire class sings "Who has the turkey" twice, the child that actually has it sings it twice by themselves.  The child that has their back to the class then tries to guess who has it by recognizing their voice.  The kids love it!  Sorry if I couldn't explain it well.  You could use whatever melody you want to sing, you don't have to use the one that I attempted to explain using solfege.

I had a terrible time learning the multiplication tables.  I finally made a tape of myself singing them in a song I made up.  It helped that I made the song and funny sounds for the music while in the bathtub.  Reading the tables while singing the song would help.  \n\nMy mother still has the tape.

yes we did it in science class.  I forget how exactly but you fold the paper and then start cutting tiny rows but everyother row you change directions and then open it up when you are done and you get a loop of paper like a hoop and then you can step through it.  E-mail me for more details at fairy_dust_xo@yahoo.com  Hope this helps!

Im in it right now at my highschool. i LOVE it. Its prolley the best thing that has happend to me. You Twirl flag, riffels, and sabers and perform in half time shows at football games, and go to championships. IT involves lots of practice but i love it and im really well at it now. There is also something called wintergurad. its when the colorguard performs during the winter by them selves (not w/the band) inside. its sooo cool.

This sounds weird, and it's not exactly a food or herb but it will TOTALLY help you in remembering things like for tests. Juggling. I know sounds weird, but from personal experience, and friends experience, we all tried it. And it worked!!! Just learn to juggle and do it often for fun. You will totally be shocked at the results!! Hope that helps a little!  Also green vegetbales! Tehy stimulate the mind, making it work like more clearly, lol!

I had dreadful handwriting as a child (poor fine motor control) and later became a teacher who had passive to better-than-average handwriting (it never became great).  The first thing is, no one was able to help me with my handwriting, and nagging me about it would have made me not even bother trying.  Second, it gets a lot better naturally around middle school when teachers don't force you to write a particular way (cursive vs. printing) so long as it is neat and you develop your own "handwriting" which will be likely a mix of both.  Having said that, what I did around her age was made myself extra credit out of it.  I made up a "cursive castle" game I did by merely practicing letters on a castle I drew out.  If she's into something, maybe she wouldn't mind decorating it with isolated letters so as to practice formation.  Next, I would recommend trying something like knitting (to start...it's easier to learn than most needlecraft), latchhook, or ideally counted or stamped cross-stitch to develop fine motor control.  This helped me a lot and as my motor control improved, so did my handwriting.  In the end, remember, she has to have motivation to learn to write more neatly and since, in this day and age, computers are honestly the most viable option, she will probably be harder to self-motivate than I was.  Good luck with this.

I'll tell you what... ever hear of the card game "set"? It's addictive and really fun to play, rain or shine. It takes a while to learn the rules, and you'll call many false sets, but keep working at it and you'll get sucked into set before you know it. (Buy the real cards, the online version is difficult to use and doesn't give you the right feel....)\n\nLearning to juggle is also a fun way to pass time. Read an online tutorial on how to juggle 3 balls, get 3 juggling balls (don't just use anything, the specially filled juggling balls are designed to be easy to catch and don't bounce everywhere) and start practicing. Then try 2 in one hand. Keep working on both your right and left hand. Then you'll progress to four (2 in each hand at the same time).\n\nEntertaining yourself will be a lot more rewarding, worth far more than the 10 points I don't expect to receive from my answer. You'll thank me later, though....

I would like to, but I've never actually tried it to know if I can or not.  Wanna teach me and help me learn?\n\nI love "Save the Last Dance" when the guy is teaching the girl how to dance.

If you think about how they are used to find combinations and permutations, then it makes sense.  nCr = n!/r!(n-r!), or how many combinations are there of "n" things taken "r" at a time. Or nPr = n!/(n-r)! finds all the different combinations, plus the different ways each combination could be arranged.\n\nIf for instance, you had 6 items and you wanted to know how many combinations of 6 you could have, obviously the answer is only 1.  If you wanted to know how many ways you could arrange those six items you know that you'd have 6 choices for the first, 5 for the second, etc or 6*5*4*3*2*1=6!\n\nBut put it in the formula\n\nnCr would be 6C6 = 6!/6!(0!) you know that 6!/6! would be one, and you know that the answer is one, so for 6!/6!(0!) to stay one, 0! must equal one.\n\nFor permutations, the same rule applies 6P6 = 6!/(6-6!) = 6!/0! and I already showed that the answer was 6!, so again, 0! must =1.

yeah wow...with 11 fingers imagine how fast you could type!!  then again, with four arms you'd be a bad *ss drummer...i'd take the arms. plus, if you didn't wanna draw attention to yourself you could always just let two of 'em hang under a coat or somethin' and just use the other two!!

go over it step by step, just practice little sections if you're having trouble. just go section by section and get each individual section perfected, then work on putting it all together. also, if it's a routine to music (which i'm assuming it is) really use the music and the counts to help you. listen for unique sounds/words in the music that you can associate with your moves and never lose count!

I have! I am a juggalo. For those of you who do not know what this is it is a ICP fan, but it is kinda hard to explain unless you are into the dark carnival. For further questions on ICP email me at katie_1388@yahoo.com
