    Very well put together, however, I’d have liked it to be more “game” style. My students got a little wiggly part way through. I don’t know if I just missed that on the description, or if it was unclear.

    I wasn’t sure how my students would receive this activity because it is a little different than the usual rhythm practice activity. They loved it and I was able to assess at the same time. Thanks!
