Do you love to tap your feet? Do you like to clap along to songs? Come join our fun rhythm-game club! You do not need to know how to play music. Everyone can make a joyful sound.

We will play active beat games together. First, we will practice echoing simple patterns with our hands and feet. You will learn how to keep a steady beat. Next, you will get to choose your own tool. You can shake silver rhythm eggs, tap bright wooden rhythm sticks, or ring soft hand bells. Every game is simple to learn and welcoming for beginners. If you miss a beat, that is okay! We just laugh, listen, and jump right back in.

Playing rhythm games helps you become a fantastic listener. You will learn how to share music with your friends. You will also discover how different sounds fit together like puzzle pieces.

When: Every Tuesday during afternoon recess
Where: Room 12 (Mr. Green's classroom)
Who: All second-grade students are welcome!

Are you ready to make some noise? Ask your teacher for a sign-up slip today. Drop your slip into the yellow box on Room 12's door before Friday!
