I think a great way to start off Spring is by making a Rain Stick and Games. Our adventurers will make a tradional Rain Stick out of materials found in thier environment, and like people of other cultures, imitate the sound of rain. The Rain Stick is a tubular rattle, a sound producing instrument that belonged to the earliest of cultures. Throughout time, the Rain Stick has been used by many diverse cultures in various ways. It has served as ceremonial purposes and has been made and played by childeren throughout the world, it has cultural meaning as a traditional instrument asscoiated with the onset of rain. bring water - snack&lunch.
