Build A Four Beat Loop

Description

After the anime soundtrack concert, arrange four simple sound cards and perform the loop together rather than guessing it.

What to prep

  • Four paper cards
  • Pencil
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime

Play guide

  1. 1Make four paper cards labelled clap, tap, tap and pause. Arrange them in any order and perform the four beats together.
  2. 2Move one card to a new position and perform the changed loop. Listen for what feels different.
  3. 3Let the child make the final arrangement. For a harder loop, perform the four cards twice without stopping.

Success signals

The child changes a real sequence and immediately hears the effect on the rhythm.

If it's tricky

If making cards is annoying, write the four words in a row on one sheet and point to them instead.
