After having some fun with the recorder activity, and seeing that my spring materials were moving into frog activities, I decided to review tika-ti and ti-tika with my GR 3 students.
I started first by asking students to review the song, "Who's Got a Fishpole" which we have sung several times.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "WHO'S GOT A FISHPOLE?" ON YOUTUBE.
Then dividing the students into smaller groups, gave each group a packet of 20 frogs. Each packet included 16 frog with a ta, ta rest, ti-ti and tika-ti patterns on the frog tummy (1 beat per frog). Be sure to laminate the frogs and cut them out for use as a floor game or laminate and cut out and put magnets on the back for magnetic board use.
As students sing each verse of the song "Who's Got a Fishpole," encourage them to create 4 4-beat rhythm sentences with the frogs. Between each verse, choose a group of "floor frogs" to read or perform their rhythmic pattern. Sing the next verse as students mix up the rhythms and rebuild a new pattern. Create a RONDO selection by choosing different "floor frog" groups each time.
