Give students engaging practice with 4/4 rhythm composition and rhythm counting using this interactive drag-and-drop rhythm activity for Google Slides™.

Students build complete rhythm measures by dragging notes and rests into a measure, reinforcing rhythm reading skills while practicing eighth note patterns.

This activity works well for music centers, rhythm practice lessons, digital learning days, and sub plans.

Because students are actively building rhythm measures, the activity strengthens both rhythm recognition and composition skills.
