During First Grade Music we have been working on reading basic rhythms using ta's, quarter rest, ti-it's, and ta-a's. I have started playing I Spy with my Kindergarten Classes as a tool to get them to line up quietly. I tried using it in First grade and it went over very well.
I put four Rhythm Flashcards on the board. I chanted one of the rhythms and the students had to identify the rhythm. "I spy a pattern that sounds like this..."
The students loved being able to identify the rhythms and it gave me a chance to do a quick individual assessment of their rhythm reading skills. I want to incorporate this same idea with my other classes using rhythm patterns and Solfege patterns.
