Turkey Rhythms

Do you know Brian Weese?  Well, he's  brilliant music educator!  This turkey rhythm worksheet is fabulous!  It allows student to compose rhythm patterns on turkey feathers.  I did this with 1st and 2nd graders.  Then I modified the activity for Kindergartners and we made Steady Beat Turkeys.  We don't usually worry too much about notation in Kindergarten at this time of the year, but this really worked with the steady beat activities were were already working on.  Students had a great time composing and sharing their turkey rhythms with classmates.
