The Preschool Rhythm and Pattern Guide: Rhythm, Repeat, Create!

This 11-page guide helps preschool teachers lead a group rhythm-and-pattern experience with rhythm cards, age-appropriate instruments, movement symbols, and pattern strips. Children practice recognizing repeated sound or movement patterns, creating simple sequences, listening, and taking turns through three guided activities. Use the clap-clap-pause introduction to invite children to listen and copy, then adapt participation for different needs during circle time or a music-and-movement session. Safety reminders help you prepare materials and facilitate the activity with confidence.
