Brown Bear, Brown Bear Rhythms

I used the book 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear' to reinforce ta and ti-ti rhythms in my First Grade classes.  We read the book, played the singing game 'Grizzly Bear' and students created their own rhythm patterns by connecting different animals.

I am a big believer in the old saying "If it's not broken, don't fix it."  I found these Brown Bear word cards online through a google search, which led me to Pinterest.

My students enjoyed this activity and it helped me access their ability to recognize ta and ti-ti patterns.
