Bow, Wow, Wow

In 1st grade, we are practicing our rhythms of ta, ti-ti, and rest.  We've learned that rhythm is the "way the words go" in a song.  Here's a peak at the song we learned called "Bow, Bow, Wow" written in rhythmic notation.  The 1st graders are able to clap and read these rhythms: 

Next, they learned a partner dance game that goes with the song.  They actually switch partners while they sing the song.  Here's a video of a class playing and singing.  I told them that they do not need me to play.  As long as everyone has a partner, they can do this game on their own!
