All you need is some small pictures of loud/quiet things. I usually printout clipart pictures of things like an elephant, butterfly, drums, fireworks, bee, etc. Before the lesson, hide these pictures throughout the room (keep in mind the age of your student so they can still find the pictures while having fun).
Explain to your student the difference between forte and piano. Have your student practice the difference by as softly and as loudly as they can.
Then have your student find the pictures hidden throughout the room. Every time they find a picture, have them come back and put it in either the forte or piano pile. For an additional learning experience, have your student run to the piano and play the way an elephant would play or a butterfly, depending on what picture they find.
Let me know below how your students like this lesson!
