I don't know about you, but "distance learning" is throwing me through some loops. I am having to teach in a new way, create different activities, and it's just plain weird.

This activity goes along with the book Tap, Tap, Boom, Boom by Elizabeth Bluemle (get it on Amazon here!). Students use tap-tap to represent eighth notes, and boom to represent quarter notes. They drag quarter and eighth notes into the boxes in order to create the rhythms given-- and create their own rhythms!

This is a Google Slides activity. Have students make a copy (if you use Google Classroom, just click "make a copy". DO NOT CLICK PRESENT. Students can turn them in for a grade, or just practice.

You can get a read aloud of Tap Tap Boom Boom on Youtube here (this video will be taken down after the school year 2019-2020 in compliance with the publisher's guidelines).
