My Own Rhythm

An empty eight-beat sheet. A child draws a rhythm, then copies it onto the screen to hear it. The point is that what they made turns into sound.

How to use it

1. Draw a rhythm symbol in each box. If drawing is hard, writing ta or ti-ti works too.
2. Four boxes make one bar. Take a breath at the thick line.
3. When it is finished, read it aloud and clap it.
4. Play it on screen, and if they like it, give the rhythm a name.
