Other Details
Parental Guidance
We play games called 'Instrument Imposters' and 'Rhythm Imposters,' which are inspired by the popular game 'Among Us.'
'Among Us' is a survival game in which players must vote off all the imposters and complete tasks to win, while the imposter tries to eliminate crewmates or hinder their task completion. In our game, the imposters are NPCs that produce sounds not corresponding to the pictures on the screen. There's no rivalry or competition among students in this class, but it's important to note that some younger students might find the concept of an impostor unsettling or frightening.
Supply List
We will be singing, clapping, and tapping on our legs. If learners have desk bells, they may use them, but they are not required for the class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
