Rhythm Clock

Each student has a paper plate (or cut out a circle from construction paper) and creates a rhythm clock.

Whatever notes/rest they are studying, incorporate them into you 4/4 time signature clock
Use brackets in the middle of the clock and add hands, or just draw hands

1. Students should make a rough draft first (on a piece of paper). 
2. They can use all of the rhythm that they've been studying and place the notes/rests wherever they want.
3. After the teacher checks the rough draft, transfer onto the paper plate (or other circular object).

Music Game

Rhythm Musical Chairs 


Have a circle of chairs (one less chair than there are students).
Whoever is standing when the music stops, that person must read and clap a rhythm correctly.
If they do they can stay in the game. If not, they are out.
