Valentine Rhythm Hunt is a favorite rhythm game to help students learn to identify rhythm notation.
All of my younger students played it at their private lesson the week of Valentine’s. They liked it so much we also played it at our performance class.
Students should be familiar with the rhythm names of notes. If they are beginners and are not secure in the names yet, use the game as a way to teach rhythm identification. It is a fast way to learn the names of notes.
Objective
- review rhythm note names by sight
- quickly identify rhythms under pressure
- play a fun, seasonal game in less than 3 minutes
Ages
- Younger children, ages 5-7.
Susan! I want to tell you how successful this game went in my group classes today! My students absolutely LOVED this game! After they collected the cards around the big room we were in, I had everyone come up to the front and we lined up by age. I told them I was the “Bar Line Queen” 🙂 and we were going to make a LONG composition together in 4/4 time (5/4 for my 4-6th graders). Each student took a turn and put down a card and we all counted the beats up together (with me putting bar lines down when needed). I had a student in my youngest class ask if we could play our composition on the piano! I suggested that we clap out the rhythm together and that worked great!
Thanks so much for posting this game – soooo much fun!!!
I will use these for the kindergarten class. Perfect for February, thank you!
Thanks, Lady D. I am always a little behind, but I’m glad I got them up in time for you to use them.
