Resonance boards
£85 from your trainer or £115 (inc p&p)
Resonance boards are a focal point for Soundabout activities and are invaluable for bringing a group together. With children sitting or lying on or around them, staff and children can create sound and rhythm games together and build sound conversations. If children lie on the board, they can feel the sound resonating through their whole body. The boards create a space in which pupils will become actively involved in creative opportunities for communication and well-being. Soundabout can make resonance boards for you, or give you instructions for making your own.
