What is a Makey Makey?

A makey makey is a piece of technology that synchronizes your computer's keys with something else such as a orange. Now you can use the orange as a key on your keyboard.

What with you be doing with it?

You will be playing jingle bells with the Makey Makey. People will be the keys for the piano(the piano is online).

Have 5 volunteers and have them hold one alligator clip each, have them hold the metal part. You could have something else besides people, just make sure it conducts electricity.
