Rhythm Echo

Bear plays a rhythm on the drum and the child plays it back: three beats, then four and five with a rest (a hollow dot, a beat of quiet), then reads the dots and plays it before Bear does.

Builds: Rhythm memory, reading a pattern

Words: bear’s turn, your turn, drum, rest

Try it together: Clap a short rhythm with a rest in it and let your child clap it back; then swap.
