Hello, and welcome back. I'm Joseph Hoffman.
Today we're going to do a rhythm game with the new rhythm that we learned
last time when we learned "Dinah".
Do you remember the name of that rhythm? It looks like this.
They are called four sixteenth notes
and they make a sound like this: TIKI-TIKI.
We're going to do a game where I hide this rhythm somewhere
in a group of four beats, and your job is to find where the TIKI-TIKI is
and also to draw the other rhythms as well.
To play this game at home, it will probably work best if you
download the printable rhythm cards from our website.
Then you'll be able to play this game.
Okay what I'm going to do is say a rhythm while I touch each beat.
If you could point to the beats with me, and then try to
figure out which beat had the TIKI-TIKI in it.
Here we go.
[Speaking rhythms]
Point to the beat that had TIKI-TIKI in it.
Here's the rhythm one more time.
[Speaking rhythms]
If you're pointing to this beat, you are correct.
Now, see if you can figure out which rhythms go in the other beats.
Here is the rhythm one more time.
[Speaking rhythms]
Now if you have these cards at home,
you can draw the rhythm that you hear yourself.
So if you have the cards, try to put the four cards in order
based on what you've heard.
And while you do that, I'll draw the answer on the screen.
So don't look at the screen until you're ready to see the answer.
If you're still working on it, you can always pause.
Here's the correct answer.
Let's try saying the rhythm words together.
I'll do it once by myself, then we'll try it together.
TA TI-TI TIKI-TIKI TA.
Now let's say it together. Touch each beat, or point to each beat, and say it with me.
TA TI-TI TIKI-TIKI TA.
Good. Now try clapping that rhythm.
Here we go. TA TI-TI TIKI-TIKI TA.
Great job. Now let's try another one.
Where is the TIKI-TIKI going to hide this time?
[Speaking rhythms]
Here it is again.
[Speaking rhythms]
Point to the beat where you heard TIKI-TIKI.
If you're pointing here, you are correct.
Now with your cards at home, try to draw the rhythm in the correct order.
If you need extra time press pause.
I'm going to be drawing the correct answer on the screen.
Here is the correct answer.
Can you point to each beat and speak it with me?
Here we go. TA TIKI-TIKI TI-TI TA.
Can you do it by yourself?
Your turn. Go.
Good. Let's try one more.
This time to make it extra tricky, I'm going to hide two TIKI-TIKI's somewhere.
You'll have to point to two beats.
This time, I laid the cards out already, and as you get it correct and figure
out the rhythm, we'll flip them over to see if you're right.
Here's the rhythm this time. Touch or point to each beat with me.
[Speaking rhythms]
Where did you hear TIKI-TIKI?
If you're pointing to this beat and this beat, you are correct.
What rhythm did you hear inside these beats?
Listen one more time.
[Speaking rhythms]
If you said a quarter note, or one sound, you are correct.
Good job. Now, can you speak this rhythm with me?
I'll do it once, then it's your turn.
My turn first. TIKI-TIKI TA TIKI-TIKI TA.
Now you try. Ready go.
Nice work today. Thanks for playing this rhythm game.
From our website, you can download these cards so you can try it at home.
Also try making up your own rhythms with the cards.
Invent new rhythms that no one's ever done before,
and then try speaking your rhythm while you touch each card to keep the steady beat.
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.
