Activities for Rhythmic Development
By Doug Goodkin Book

Activities for rhythmic development for elementary through middle school students. Teachers may extend all of the material to any combination of instruments (Orff or other). The games are adaptable across all age levels and proceed from simple to complex. Each game lists a skill required for successful playing (and can be developed through repeated playing), such as maintaining one’s part in a multi-layered rhythmic texture or translating speech to spoken notation. Each game highlights a music concept (such as duration values or meter) and lists variations and author comments. For elementary to middle school.
