I always love to hear about other people’s best lessons and games. Mine? Kaboom. This is the game that students BEG me to play. We play rhythm Kaboom for every different concept, but rhythm Kaboom is my go to for centers, review games, back to school, end of the year, sub plans, and even when traveling on a cart to teachers’ classrooms.

To play Kaboom:

Print out the cards and put them into a box or bucket.
Students take turn pulling out a card and clapping the rhythm (or playing it on Orff or a drum…).
If they get it right, they keep it. If it is wrong, they put it back in the box, and the next student takes a turn.
If they get a Kaboom, then they put all the cards back.
Most cards at the end wins.
This game never ends because eventually, they get Kaboom and put all their cards back in the bucket and start over.

I also like to listen and use it as an informal assessment.

This bundle includes 8 rhythm kaboom games.

Each set includes:

Directions
45 rhythm cards
15 Kaboom cards
Everything in stick notation!
