Ta Titi Rest
Ta, Ti-Ti and Rest activities give beginning music students hands-on practice with the quarter note, paired eighth notes, and quarter rest. This collection includes rhythm worksheets, tracing pages, flashcards, matching games, create-a-rhythm activities, standard notation, and stick notation for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and early elementary music. Seasonal themes such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day make the same core rhythm skills easy to revisit throughout the school year. I like to teach these three rhythms through movement and repetition before moving on to more complicated patterns. Students can say the rhythm syllables, clap the pattern, trace the notes, and then recognize the same rhythm visually. Using several short activities keeps young children involved without turning beginning rhythm reading into a long worksheet lesson.
