There are many different ways to play the Flute other that just blowing.

Some examples are:

Flutter tonguing - rolling your tongue while blowing across the embouchure hole.

Pizzicato - clucking your tongue or with your lips across the embouchure hole.

Train whistle - covering the lip plate with your mouth and blowing a strong sharp burst of air.

Tongue rams - covering the lip plate with your mouth and blowing while sharply covering the hole with your tongue.

Singing through the flute - this one is difficult and requires a lot of practice. You sing the pitch while playing the note. This can be difficult as you must keep your embouchure in order to get the sound on the flute. It sounds yuck, because of the two different frequencies (the flute and your voice) but as you get better you can sing a different note to the one you are playing. With practice you will be able to do things such as singing and playing in cannon with yourself.

These are just a small few of some of the weird and wonderful ways a flute can be played. Have fun!
