‘Rewind’ is a communication through touch activity that explores popular music styles throughout the decades. The session starts with Jazz music from the 1930s, then transitions to the 1940s, when dances like the Jitterbug gained popularity alongside Swing and Big Band music. The 1950s introduced rock and roll, a genre that emerged in America, followed by the vibrant swinging ’60s, the disco era of the 1970s, and the 1980s, famously recognised as hip hop’s golden age.
This communication through touch activity would perfectly complement a ‘Back in Time’ theme, shared as a music session through the ages or just for fun with sensory learners of all ages.
A ‘Rewind’ PowerPoint with images, video, and music accompanies the written activity. A retro scent and a feather boa are additional suggested resources.
