One of the best ways to assess comprehension and mastery of a concept is by playing games! And what's better than a game your students already know to play?!

DROP FOUR BEATS is a rhythm comprehension game in the style of another game where you have to connect four same-colored coins in a row.

However, Drop Four Beats is a game where students place their coins on the game board to build rhythms and correctly perform their rhythms!

To build the rhythms, students play the game like the "connection" game, but there are note and rest values on the coins. We've included Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, Beamed 8th Notes, 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes so you can play the game with a variety of students and their learning levels.

As a bonus, we've included a low to no-prep version of the game as well! With this version, you simply need to print off the game board, have students choose a colored writing utensil to use, and choose the note values or let your students choose the note values they will use and they draw on the game board! This version can also be laminated and used with dry-erase markers as well.

Included in the document are the following pages:

• Full-Color Printable Game Board
• Coin Page with Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, and Beamed 8th Notes: 24 yellow coins, 24 red coins.
• Coin Page with 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes: 24 yellow coins, 24 red coins.
• Low/No-Prep version of the game using Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, and Beamed 8th Notes.
• Low/No-Prep version of the game using 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes.

There is some preparation involved to get the game ready for your students. After printing, you will need to cut out the coins you plan to use for the game, and you may want to laminate the game board and the coins for durability and longevity.
