  1. I love your Christmas rhythm cups, and am looking at buying other books. Do any of them NOT have cup sharing? We’re not allowed to share supplies at school and students need to be 1 metre apart, making it hard to share cups.

  2. Hi Laura,

    Thanks for asking! These all contain the element of “passing” the cups, but you can do any number of things in place of that. For example, they could plop their cup to the person on the right on the 1st beat and then bring it back to themselves and shrug on the 2nd (since a cup passing is always 2 beats). It would be rather funny for an audience to see this and they might enjoy the “Joke” it seems to be.

    There are lots of other things you could do in place of that, but I think that’s the most interesting that’s a bit of a commentary on everyone’s flexibility!
