Tea Coffee
A useful Powerpoint presentation which introduces children to the concepts of crotchets and quavers.
This is a musical version of the 'Simon Says' game.
Aim: to recognise, internalise and copy rhythms and identify the danger rhythm!
I use this as a musical warm up for all ages even for a learning break between subjects.
The teacher claps a range of rhythms, no more than 4 beats long, using hands, body, voice, even floor and the children copy the rhythms. However if they hear in any form the rhythm 'Don't clap this one back' - they don't clap it back.
Everytime someone claps the rhythm when they aren't supposed to, the teacher gets a point. If no one claps when they hear 'don't clap this one back' the children get a point.
