What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Listen, count 1 to 4, identify beat positions, mark symbols, copy grids and perform patterns.
Use a clear teaching route
Use whole-class counting first, rehearse the beat numbers aloud, and compare answers before performing the pattern back.
