WHY IMAGINE DRAGONS?

• Great compositions, safe for ears, and engaging music for all grades (battle anthems for most of the boys as well -- surely a hit for them!)

Arrangements are designed from 4th grade all the way up to middle school, so these are typically designed for some of the older kids.

For notation:

• All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish),

• The X notation that is stacked with quarter notes are played as shots (think like a marching band snare drum -- playing the drum and stick simultaneously as a rimshot or on top of each other -- whatever will you get you the best accent!)

• The X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

For the Rhythm Basketball:

• Your students will each have a basketball (can be regulation size or smaller) and bounce their ball on the ground each time they see an ornament icon. Each ornament icon is denoted as a quarter note. The rests are in between each ball for the students to hold the ball. Any smaller ornaments (grouped in two) will be played as 2 eighth note pairs and students will have to lower themselves a foot or two to dribble eighth notes on the floor

• There's also a "pat" icon with a hand below the ornament icon itself, so you will have the student hold the basketball in one hand and pat the ball on the beat

There are five rooms, and in each room are several "tasks" students will have to perform (either individually, as a class, A vs B, side by side, or however you wish). As soon as the task is completed, advance the slide for the correct answer (the teacher will control the game).

After a certain number of tasks, a key will be issued to exit the room and head into another room with a different set of tasks.

If students complete all tasks and open the door to all five rooms they win the game!

You can play this one of four ways

• Set a timer (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc). You can designate how long students should receive to complete the entire game
• Keep track of time to beat another class or grade level
• Keep track of time and try again during another class to name it faster
• Play it side vs side, boys vs girls, and see who can get to the end the fastest (or before time ends)

Ready to start your kids on boomwhackers (or would like an end of the year review?)

Here in this primary pack geared towards your younger students, you will get 3 great resources at 20% when purchased here all together!

• Boom and Response (Call and Response for Boomwhackers!)
  In this resource, there are 3 tracks totally 5 minutes that you can play for your students (and repeat if necessary). Each track is a specific amount of beats for the "Call" (4 beats, 6 beats, or 8 beats) with the same amount of empty beats that follow directly after -- and thats where you students submit their "Response"

• BoomBox (25 sight reading patterns for BEGINNING Boomwhackers!)
  Students will see a series of 8 to 12 boxes with corresponding boomwhacker colors filled in each box. When played, the teacher will count off the students to read down the Boomwhacker boxes from left to right, line by line.

• Boom in a FLASH! (Boomwhackers against the clock!)
  Students will see one Boomwhacker color appear on the screen (PowerPoint presentation). The student who is holding that Boomwhacker must play the note (on the ground, hand, elbow, desk, whatever have you!), and then they automatically advance to the next slide... to another color!

  Keep it going, keep reading because... they're being timed! They will have 30 seconds to amass as many notes as they can (timer included) before the time runs out and they look at their high score (which is kept below).

Enjoy these and let us know how it goes with your kids!

Looking for something challenging for your 4th and 5th graders (or even early middle schoolers?) This game is fast paced and has these kids racing to dictate what they hear in a new game called "Rhythm Clockout!"

In this lesson, students will hear a 4 to 6 beat rhythm (with 8 preparatory beats) followed by a 3, 5, 7, or 9 second timer immediately following the rhythm. As soon as that timer begins (or even before for some of your advanced kids), have the students dictate what they heard before the timer runs out!

You can do this one of a few ways

• Print out notecards and have them line it up on their floor/desk
• Have them write it out on the whiteboard
• Draw it on their tablet (if applicable)
• Use Popsicle sticks for iconic notation
• Use your own type of notation

In all of these examples are quarter rests, half notes, eighth notes, and quarter notes. You can use the printouts included to print your own and cut them up, or even use your class set

There are 22 examples in this one with the electric guitar leading the melodic figures for the kids to notate. Most are around 100-120bpm, but some advanced ones go a bit faster

Lesson pro tip:

Wanna challenge the kids? Have a team vs team, kid vs kid, A vs B, etc and see who can get the most right (percentage of right notes) or even the right answer before the timer ends

Have a great time with this one, my upper elementary kids get super psyched!

A game that will keep your 4th and 5th graders entertained, engaged, and competitively charged, here's RHYTHM IMPOSTER inspired by "Among Us"!

In Rhythm Imposter, you will see 2 or 3 "crewmates" assigned with different instruments (either a trumpet, violin, or xylophone).

A musical example will be played where all of the crewmates will play their assigned rhythms on their instruments.

During the example, You, along with your students, will soon find out that the trumpet, violin, or xylophone did NOT play the correct rhythm!

Your task is to decide which crewmate is the IMPOSTER by selecting the one crewmate instrumentalist who didn't play their rhythm correct (or even at all!). Advance the slide and check your answer and go through the rounds!

Included in this resource are

• Mp3 examples embedded in each question (with trumpet, violin, and xylophone sounds) with a 4 beat countoff
• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• 4 levels of rhythms with 2 and 3 imposters, along with a level where you can find the crewmate (and the rest of the instruments are imposters!

All examples have quarter, eighth note pairs, quarter rests and half notes (in Levels 3 and on)

Have a terrific time with this while your kids study polyphony!
