Group Activity:
Happy #MIOSM! The beat in music is often similar to the human heartbeat in that
it maintains a steady pulse. You can play a fun game called "Beat Leader" with an
upbeat song! To start, select one person to be the guesser and have them cover
their eyes. Then choose another person to be the "Beat Leader." When the music
starts playing, the beat leader creates nonlocomotor beat motions, and the rest of
the group copies the movements. The beat leader must try to switch the
movement without being noticed by the guesser. The guesser has three chances
to identify the beat leader. Make sure the beat has a steady pulse! #NCGME

Activity:
Happy #MIOSM! Steady beat and rhythm patterns are for more than just music –
you and your body perform them all the time every day! From brushing your teeth
to playing games like jump rope and basketball to feeling your heartbeat, steady
beat and rhythms are part of life itself. Things in nature are no different. Find a
time to sit quietly outside and listen to all the things in our world that make a
steady beat or create a rhythmic pattern. #NCGME #MusicIsMe #NighthawkProud

likes the same type of music, artist, or song that you do. Talk about it. What is it
about the music that you both like? How does the music make you feel or how do
the words speak to you? You may have more in common than you think!
