Celebrating a birthday in your class? Download letters from Boomwhacker® Central to spell out "Happy Birthday" and the name of the birthday boy or girl. You can also download the appropriate number(s) to show the child's age. Post these messages on your wall or blackboard for the day. Then, instead of singing "Happy Birthday," use "Whacky Birthday" (from Music K-8, Vol. 13, No. 1).

You might want to tape the "Happy Birthday" letters together so that it's easy to post at the next birthday party. Save the other letters individually and reuse them, downloading just the additional letters you need to spell out the next birthday boy or girl's name.
