Secret Chicken - Grades 1/2 and 3/4
Grades 1/2 and 3/4 have enjoyed playing Secret Chicken.
In this activity, students watch a video where a chicken spells out 4 beat rhythms which when decoded, provide the name of a place in the World.
Once they have decoded the 4 beat rhythm, we learn about the Music from that place. For example, we recently decoded Japan and Ireland while playing the game and then learned about these countries' instruments and music.
Music Curriculum covered in this activity:
-listening, recognizing and decoding rhythm patterns including quarter notes, quarter rests and pairs of eighth notes.
-follow music notation from left to right
-identify like and unlike patterns in music
-learning about Music from other places
