Rhythm pattern cards are a great way to teach new rhythmic concepts, reinforce familiar patterns, and build that all-important musical vocabulary (the ability to understand and create your own musical patterns and sequences).I’ve found that having a few sets of rhythm pattern cards on hand can be so helpful in teaching to capture the attention of young learners and help them grasp new concepts (and have fun while doing it!).Today, I’m sharing 10 fun ways you can use rhythm pattern cards in your teaching. Whether you’re looking for ideas for your children’s choir rehearsal or your piano studio, games to play at VBS or music camp or activities to break up a band or orchestra rehearsal, I hope you find a few new ideas on this list.For show notes, click here.Resources mentioned:Free Rhythm Pattern Card Set - a printable set of 16 rhythm patterns cards in 4/4 timeRhythm Pattern Card Set - a printable set of six rhythm pattern card sets in duple and triple meters (192 patterns total)Decide Now! app + how I use it in my teachingRhythm Train Cards by Color in My PianoRhythm Clock game demonstration by Fun Music CompanyRollin’ Rhythms game board by Teach Piano TodayRhythm Go Fish on Teachers Pay TeachersBody Percussion Rhythm by Let’s Play Music
