A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Paper, a pencil, and a clear table.
Age: 6–12 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw four boxes. Put a dot in a box for a tap and leave a box empty for a rest.
- Read the boxes from left to right at a steady pace, tapping for dots and pausing for empty boxes.
- Trade patterns with a partner. Repeat one pattern twice, then change one beat and compare how it sounds.
For older children; keep tapping gentle and comfortable for everyone.
