In this rhythm reading exercise for Boomwhackers, up to 5 boomwhacker colors will appear on the screen (an assortment of notes from the octave, red, orange, yellow, lime, green, purple, and pink)

Each color has a different rhythm and the color will be assigned to that rhythm and repeat as many times as necessary.

When you advance the slide, the rhythms and colors change around, giving everyone an opportunity to play a different rhythm and at a different time during the game.

You can play this a few ways

• As is with everyone playing at once
• In a round (having the 1st color go 4x, then 2nd color add on 4x, 3rd, etc)
• Call and response (have 2 or 3 play first, then have the other remaining students play)
• Have the students read down EVERY rhythm regardless of color (go clockwise or counterclockwise)
• Some play forte, some piano
• With or without music or accompaniment tracks

Included are instrumental accompaniment tracks but feel free to use your own! There are 16 different variations of rhythms and Boomwhackers colors in this resource

Have a great time with this!
