Practicing with BUGS?

Sometimes practicing seems long and boring. So what do we do? We bring in the bugs! Plastic bugs, that is!

Bugs on a Piano

Bugs can serve all kinds of purposes.

See how many you can collect if you can only collect one per repetition.

These are just a few ideas to help make practice time a little bit more enjoyable when everyone is getting a teeny tiny bit bored. What other ideas can you think of for using bugs while practicing?
