The Groove Pack is a rollable case with materials for rhythm, movement and singing games. The "Basic" version contains Groovybags (small, soft, malleable cushions), shakers, sticks and rhythm balls, assorted in the colors red, blue, green and yellow. They can be used to perform all kinds of movements, accompany and accompany songs. This teaching aid for the Groove Pack contains 21 songs with movement sequences and rhythm patterns, which are demonstrated on the accompanying DVD. Here it becomes clear that the materials in the Groove Pack also have something to offer in terms of sound.

Body awareness and motor coordination are trained through the movement sequences and, incidentally, it is much easier to sing along. However, the simple instructions should not hide the fact that a lot of practice is required if you want the rhythms to groove.

The Groove Pack belongs in every music school, and also in elementary schools and kindergartens.
