Have you ever put your phone into a plastic cup to amplify the sound? This is like that but something fun for the kids to pull together.

You’ll need plastic (or paper) cups, a cardboard tube and scissors (duct tape optional).

Wrap the tube in duct tape if desired.

Using the phone as a guide cut out a hole in the tube just big enough for your device.

Next, make a hole near the base of the cups just big enough for one end of the tube.

Repeat with the other cup

Turn the device volume up, put in the tube and rock on

We tried it with both plastic and paper cups and didn’t notice much of a difference.

Try putting ear buds in cups or even just cut out a hole big enough for your tablet speaker!
