Read and Perform: Clap, Tap, and Rest Rhythm Practice

This 12-page printable introduces children to three action words—clap, tap, and rest—and shows how each fits into a steady beat. Children follow an adult count-in, read four-beat patterns, and practise performing sequences while learning that a rest is silent but the beat continues. Use the worked example and practice recipes for a focused music-and-movement activity in a small group or as an individual turn-taking task.
