My kids LOVED "Secret Agent". It was very easy to read and play - two phrases to learn, great background music.

Can you explain a little more about Taiko drumming with boomwhackers?
Do you use any specific rhythms or resource or background music?

For our spring program I will have the students
play one recorder song of their choice, one
drum circle example, Taiko with boomwhackers
and hopefully sing a song with harmony. Not
sure about the singing yet. Also, they will
write their own music in groups of four and vote
for the one they want to play for the parents.

Each week they will vote for the recorder song
they want to do. Right now they think they want
to play Zippy Toad. They haven't seen/heard the other
choices yet so we shall see if they stick with that.

It's an informal sort of program outside.
