Brent A Eresman suggested:

<<<Try having him play while he is walking across the room. We can hope
that he will walk with a fairly steady rhythm and with that cue very
prominent in his body already it may not be hard to play to the rhythm of
his walking. Other steps can follow that (pun only partially intended).>>>

Rhythm from movement is a core tenet of both Orff and Kodaly teaching.

I don't mean to start another feeding frenzy--but entire groups are known to
walk around and play at the same time (half-time). Perhaps there is a
positive effect after all . . . .
