In an extension of students' engagement with bodily rhythm experienced in dance with the Senior Ladies or Abuelitas, we create maracas at the cafecito. We used two paper cups, dried beans, washi tape, markers, and paper streamers to create simple percussive instruments. Students worked with their families to personalize their instrument with the markers and streamers which drew inspiration from piñata. We closed the cafecito by create various rhythms using the maracas that the students created.
