Rhythm Group Lesson Activities

You Be The Teacher

One option for this month's rhythm challenge is to watch a rhythm concept video below and come prepared to teach a mini-lesson (about 1 minute) to the other students during group lessons. Students could create a poster or game, use examples from music, or just explain it the concept in a memorable way.

Split Second Challenge Game

How do you count the first measure or partial measure of each example?

  • Late Elementary Examples (up to 1:47)
  • Intermediate Examples (from 1:47-end)

Is this an upbeat?


 Challenge 1: Identify if the first notes in each example are pickup notes or not. Do the beats in the first bar add up to the same # of beats indicated in the time signature? If so, than it is not an upbeat!

Challenge 2: Race to write the counts of the first measure or partial measure example on your paddle. The first person to answer correctly gets a bonus point and every correct answer earns a point.
