Rhythm Chairs is an active game that helps students feel the difference between beat and rhythm. Each chair stands for one beat, and students sit in the chairs to show how many sounds are on that beat. Level Three adds half notes to quarter notes, barred eighth notes, and quarter rests.

What’s included

  • A clickable menu for easy navigation
  • Game explanation and rules
  • Instructions for a two-team game and a collaborative game
  • Game slides with half notes, quarter rests, quarter notes, and barred eighth notes, with audio
  • A bonus round of 8-beat patterns, with audio
  • Directions for playing the game

Formats

  • PDF
  • Google Slides: A link is included in your download and lets you add your own copy to Google Drive.
  • PowerPoint

Important

  • The slideshow must be in presentation mode for the audio to work.

Ways to use it

  • No chairs? Use sit-spots, carpet squares, hula hoops, or taped-off squares.
  • Keep score across classes with a sports-style bracket.
  • A student who can’t join the physical part can be the referee, keep score, and play the audio after each turn.
  • Have students clap the rhythm or play it on a rhythm instrument.
  • To turn the game into a composing activity, pair it with the Rhythm Chairs Printable Manipulatives.

Standards (NCAS)

  • Performing: Anchor Standard 4 (select, analyze, and interpret artistic work for presentation)
