In this new game where your students will have the fastest eye, Rhythm Waldo teachers your kids their aural theory in this fast paced activity!
Directions
Print out the included powerpoint on 8.5"x11" cardstock, as many copies as you'd like, and assign to a group of students, individual students, or however you'd like to play. Each cardstock pair have 12 different rhythms on them and they'll lay all the rhythms out on the floor in front of them. The rhythms will be simple, all comprised of quarter notes, eighth note pairs, and quarter rests _(would be ideal for 2nd-5th graders)
_
You will then play an audio example of a rhythm and the students will have to find which rhythm you played (by of course, searching through all 12 of their rhythms, while maintaining the rhythm in their head). The first one to hold it up is deemed the winner!
You can play this individually, team vs team, boys vs girls, however you wish!
There are 12 examples (and some of them may end up repeating!)
Have a great time with this!
