4 Rhythm Games in 1

This is such a fun and colorful way to review rhythms for younger pupils! I have included 4 different activities, but you could probably expand the usage to more than that!

Activity 1: Sight reading

• This is a powerpoint with 44 different rhythms using quarter notes and rests, eighth notes, and half notes. Each slide has a rhythm that can be displayed and is also played following a four-beat count-in.

Activity 2: Writing Rhythms

• This activity is designed for pupils who are just beginning to write rhythms. Using the same rhythms as above, there is a printable worksheet that encourages developing 4/4 rhythms. As a bonus, students can perform their rhythms at the end!

Activity 3: Cut and Mix

• Using the colorful owl rhythms, students can cut them out and re-arrange them to create a variety of different activities to support rhythm development. My students have used these cards as flashcards, as a starting point for drumming projects, and self-directed sight-reading, just to name a few!

Activity 4: Rhythm Bingo

• There are 10 different bingo cards (and a blank one if you would prefer to have students write their own rhythms) included in this folder. Additionally, there is a powerpoint included that will play the rhythms for you (or a substitute teacher!) if you would prefer to walk around the classroom to support students. Students have a lot of fun playing rhythm bingo and enjoy the multiple ways to play.

I hope that you enjoy practicing rhythms!
