Need to practice rhythm AND get the wiggles out this Halloween? Try Trick or Treat! This is a silly rhythm game that your students can do during elementary music centers. They will love the silly “tricks”, and you’ll love that they are practicing rhythms.
To play Trick or Treat:
Students take turn pulling out a card from a bucket (eyes closed!)
Read a rhythm = get a treat
If you get a trick card, you will either have a challenge or have to put treats back.
Most treats at the end is the winner!
Tricks include saying tongue twisters, putting treats back, and even challenges like hopping on one leg, holding your breath, doing push ups, and more.
Your students have never been this engaged while reading rhythms.
This game never ends because after you’ve gone through the rhythms, you can mix them up and continue playing.
I also like to listen and use it as an informal assessment.
This set includes quarter notes, eighth notes, quarter rests, half notes, sixteenth notes (crotchets, crotchet rests, quavers, minims, semiquavers)
This set includes:
Directions
40 rhythm cards
8 treats (you’ll want to copy multiple pages!)
24 Trick cards
Everything in stick notation
Everything in color and black + white
