What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Listen without interrupting the playback, retain the first rhythm, compare the second beat by beat and choose Same or Different.
Use a clear teaching route
Model remembering rhythms in beat-sized chunks, let pupils tap the pulse silently, and ask where a difference occurred before replaying the pair.
