Make Music Outside!

Five days of school left! The kiddos and teachers are all ready for summer vacation. We love being outside with the kids, as long as it's not too hot for them! We created the game Rhythm Squares to get us out there on these summer school days!

RHYTHM SQUARES

  • Using a four square grid in the playground, draw a different 4-beat rhythm in each square.
  • Divide the class into two teams and make two lines, having students line up one behind the other about ten feet away from the rhythm squares.
  • Clap one of the four rhythms. The first person from each team finds the rhythm and steps on that rhythm square first in order to get a point.
  • Both players go to the end of their respective lines and the next two people face off.
  • After each student has a turn, the game is finished and the team with the most points win!
  • It is so fun and can be done with any grade level! 
What fun music activities do you do near the end of the school year?

Would it be possible to have the movement directions to your light dance that uses Madonna's "Ray of Light?" I would love to attend your workshops, but since I am in Mesa AZ, that is not possible. I have enjoyed reading through your materials and downloaded several of your visuals. I wish you both the best as you continue through your teaching careers. You are doing a tremendous work. Your students are quite fortunate to have you as their teachers!
