Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in BODY PERCUSSION with the Imagine Dragons smash hit, "Thunder"!
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).
Then, apply it to body percussion with the corresponding icons for STOMP, CLAP, SNAP, and PAT
Here's the track so you can play along...
