In this task, the learner do himself with sounds of different pitches using a sound made from water bottles. 1. Line up the bottles in front of you at the back of the table 2. Say "I want to show you how to create a soundsteps. First I need to listen to find the lowest sound". Take a spoon and tap gently on bottles or glasses to find lower sounds. Once you have found the correct bottle, remove it from the row and place it to your left. 3. Repeat the action, select the highest
The learner tries to use other senses, not only sight and hearing. One begins to realize how receptive and alert our minds are. This activity stimulates and develops all five senses and introduces new concepts and words.

NB! Remind the learner that glass is fragile and sharp shards of glass are dangerous. Show how careful you are with glass things. First, show the learner how to safely carry bottles or glasses one by one to the table: one hand under the bottle and the other supporting the side.
Learners
The learner listens to high and low sounds and understands that the harmony of sounds is created only by playing the sounds in a specific sequence.

This simple mind development exercise is flexible and effective and could be done both online and hybrid.
