Concentration Bubble

This one comes from Mrs. Yurko, who got the idea from Mr. Suzuki.  It is great fun and prepares children to perform in front of people.

Draw a pretend bubble around the child.  The child must then concentrate totally on the piece.  The objective is to play the piece from start to finish without letting Mom break the concentration.

When the piece begins, Mom is free to talk, tie shoes, comb hair, clap hands (even in front of the child's face), tickle a neck or whatever she can come up with.

It can really become a challenge to play and lots of fun.
