Title – Rhythm Baseball

By – Rob Hutchinson

Primary Subject – Music

Grade Level – K-6

In this game you set up four chairs in the shape of a baseball diamond. You divide the class into teams, usually 9-10 per team depending on class sizes. You are the pitcher. Using sticks or clapping, you clap a rhythm, and the batter has to repeat the rhythm. If they get it right, they get to go to first base. If it is wrong, they are out. Three outs and the next team is up to bat. You may need one or two scorekeepers, which will help keep students competitive. Students love the competition, and they are improving their listening skills while having fun.
