Clay Whistles

I spent much of my Student Teaching experience making Clay Whistles with my students on a variety of grade levels. Students really enjoy this project because at the end they all have their own functioning whistle. Student really get involved with this project and show a lot of enthusiasm during the process of making the whistles.

I do highly recommend that the teacher master the technique of making the whistle mechanism before attempting to teach it to any students.

Note: These lesson plans pertain to the Virginia Standards of Learning for 5th Grade & Art I for Visual Arts, but are easily adapted to other grade levels and curriculum standards.
