Tap out beats on pots, boxes, and tabletops with a pair of sticks or wooden spoons, following along with songs or making up your own rhythms. An energetic, musical way to burn off energy at home.

The Essentials

  • Use a matched pair of sticks or wooden spoons for an even sound
  • Start with a simple steady beat, then layer offbeats once it feels natural
  • Tap different surfaces (pots, boxes, tabletops) to explore how each changes the tone
  • Keep tempo with a song or a metronome app so the rhythm doesn't drift
  • Take breaks if wrists feel sore, and switch hands to build both sides
