Finding your monster-music moment
Let children design one new detail at a time. They might choose an instrument for a third band member, invent a stage costume or decide where the friends will perform. Adults can support by asking open questions rather than correcting the story. Music is a useful mood-setting backdrop but the child's imagination should stay in charge.
Try these ideas together
- 1
Meet the band
Explore the characters, then ask what sound a new friend might make when they join the stage.
- 2
Design a costume
Use paper and crayons to draw a costume for Dopey Dragon. Is it practical? Probably not, and that's the fun.
- 3
Tell a concert story
Play The Rainbow Roar and describe a concert on a cloud, underwater or in a huge garden.
Questions families ask
Is there a correct way to play?
No. Treat the band's characters as friendly inspiration for your own ideas.
Can siblings work together?
Yes. One can invent the stage, another the costume and another the music.
