Ten Oni Drummers
This is a terrific book for introducing world culture and drumming! The text lends itself beautifully to rhythmic chanting in class. Read each line of the cumulative chant as the "call," and let your class "respond" by repeating after you. Continue the chant all the way to 10. Your students will love the beat and the novelty of counting in Japanese. A pronunciation guide is provided. (Grades PreK-2)
