8th Note Rhythm Games
Now let's try some 8th note rhythm games to test your skills.
Review of Rests
First, we'll review some of the rests:
- The symbol that looks like a hat is a half rest and lasts for two counts.
- The symbol that looks like a lightning bolt is a quarter note rest and lasts for one count.
- We also have an eighth rest, which looks like this:
The eighth rest, just like the eighth note, lasts for half a beat.
Rhythm Guessing Game
You'll see six examples appear on the screen. I'll play one of them, and you guess which one it is. Let's give it a try!
Here's the first one:
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2.
Did you get it right? Let me play that again.
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2.
Let's try another one:
1, 2, 3, 4.
Is this the one you thought it was? Let me play that again.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Let's try one more:
