Tennis Ball Beats
This was a fun activity I found on Pinterest. Using tennis balls, these 4th graders had to keep the beat by counting either whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, or eighth notes. Whole notes were passed around our waists, half notes were bounced, quarter notes were tossed in one hand, and eighth notes were tossed back and forth between both hands. When we got pretty good at doing these four things to a steady beat, we added "The Stars and Stripes Forever" to the mix. We performed each action to the music for 16 beats and then switched. Very cool!
