They can learn about patterns by hitting the drum or shaking an egg shaker to a certain beat, which also includes practicing coordination for big and small movements. Music and movement can also teach strategies for handling their emotions and solving problems. Teachers often incorporate taking deep breaths and short rhymes that explain what to do when they feel mad or sad.
