Snowflake, snowflake, on my window.
Snowflake, snowflake on my sill.
Falling from the clouds above
and drifting over the hill.
Original poem by Thom Borden
For this activity, I used the snowflake pattern shown. Each snowflake has a single beat of stick notation written on them. While the class recited the poem, one student was asked to create a B Section to the poem by laying the rhythm snowflakes out on the floor. They can also be laminated after writing rhythms on them and then placing magnets on the back for easy magnetic board use.
The student creating the B Section must have completed his/her rhythm pattern by the end of the A Section (the poem). After students say or play the rhythmic pattern of the B Section, repeat the poem again while another student creates another rhythm pattern - creating a rondo.
