Have a look at the musical instruments below. What do you have to do to the musical instrument to play it? Do you blow air into it? Do you pluck or strum strings? Discuss how you would use the instruments to create sound.

Here are 8 pictures of musical instruments for you to sort into 4 groups.

Think about what you'd have to do to create sound. Would you... pluck, bang, blow or shake the instrument?
