I have built this powerpoint using the 1/2 beat rhythms from ‘Little Kids Rock’. It is really great for engaging students with a mindful rhythm activity of counting, then counting and clapping, then clapping the rhythms. It builds confidence and knowledge in understanding how to use and create rhythms. It is even more enjoyable when used with a ‘style’ or pop music to help the tempo stay steady. I have inserted a simple guide to notation above the number of beats to introduce students to the concept of written notation. I highly recommend giving this a go with your key stage 2 and 3 classes.
