RHYTHM BASKETBALL is in for Halloween with the smash hit "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in an Electro Swing Remix version from the Disney Theme Parks Haunted Mansion attraction!
There are three all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 4 times ).
For this, your students will each have a basketball (can be regulation size or smaller) and bounce their ball on the ground each time they see a basketball icon. Each basketball icon is denoted as a quarter note. The rests are in between each basketball for the students to hold the ball.
Two two smaller basketballs are treated as 2 eighth note pairs
This can be performed with lower intermediate grade levels (think 3rd and 2nd grade!) with easy because there's no standard notation to follow along
The mp3 is included so you can play right along with it!
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
