Pass The Rhythm

This simple game enables children to "pass the rhythm" by copying the rhythmic actions of the child next to them.

Game 1

Have children sit in a circle.
Choose a child and encourage them to make a rhythm. E.g. stamp their feet, tap their shoulders, clap their hands 3 times etc.
Children need to observe and copy it.
The next child will make another set of rhythms for the children to copy.
Continue the game until all the kids have had their turn.

Make the children stand in a circle.
You (the Educator) can stand in the middle and make a set of quick rhythms. E.g: you can tap your feet, then knees and then clap. So, this is a set of 3 rhythms.
Ask the children to observe you and copy it.
Then make another set of rhythms by tapping your head and tapping your shoulders twice. Let the children copy you.
Keep the rhythm going until the children get comfortable with the game and also get to know various ways to make rhythms.

This is a kind of memory game and can be done with an older group of kids.
Make the children stand in a circle.
Choose a child and they should do an action. E.g: tap their head.
The child beside them needs to repeat that action and add an action of their own. For example - tap their head and clap their hands 3 times.
The next child should repeat both of these actions and add a third one to it.
Continue until you complete the circle.
