The first student to create all four measures (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4) wins!

How to play Counting Caterpillars rhythm building music game for group music lessons

Counting Caterpillars rhythm music theory game is very easy to adapt to a group of 4-6 players. The only extra prep you’ll have to do is printing one game board per player. If you have limited playing time, you can assign a time signature token to each student instead of them trying to work through all four time signatures. If you are playing with more than 6 students, you may need to print an extra set of cards or divide the students into two smaller groups.
