MATERIALS
- A thumb piano (kondi or kalimba) per player, or any small percussive instrument
HOW TO PLAY
1
One player plays a short simple melody on their instrument.
2
The next player must try to repeat that exact melody back as closely as possible.
3
If the repeat is close enough, the group applauds and that player adds a new twist for the next round.
4
If the repeat misses badly, the original player plays it again slower for a second attempt.
5
Continue passing the growing melody around the group as a shared musical memory challenge.
