Stay Home Music Activities

Stay Home Music Activities

At a time when we're all being asked to Stay Home, I'm sending good vibes in the form of music activities for you and the people you are staying home with. Whether you are looking to have some fun or need activities for your kids, I've compiled these links for you. Most of these activities refer to groups of people, but the activities work equally as well with 2-5 people, roughly the number of people in one household. Adapt by reducing the number of parts, and putting one person to a part.
