Rhythm Fun

Here's a rhythm reading activity you can do with sticks or just use your hands. You need to clap or tap in two different places. See if you can keep up!

This one's a bit more challenging. Keep going right to the end. If you find it a bit tricky, do it a few more times and you'll get the idea.

Body Percussion Challenge 1

See if you can keep up with the actions on the screen as you listen to the song

Body Percussion Challenge 2

You will need to be sitting down for this one

Try this

1. Copy the hand actions you see the person doing

2. Watch again, doing the actions, but reading the rhythm notation

3. Add the leg actions

You might recognise this piece of music. Find an instrument or something you can shake or tap along with. See if you can read the rhythms as you play along. They are all made up of ta,  ti-ti and sa.

Look how these two have used a few different instruments and worked together to make the song sound great.
