Note Passing Game
1.Students stand in a circle and each holding a music note. They will pass the notes around the circle to the teacher drum part as indicated in the score. They hug the note for two beats and then pass the note to their neighbor to the right for two beats.
2.The note-passing game stops on the word 'groove" and everone holds on the notes they have. The teacher says Whole notes or whomever, move your feet, ready go. Those students that have whole notes come to the center of the circle an dmove to the whole note for four measures. After the whole notes have moved to their note, they return to the circle. The next note is called and the teacher continues until all the notes have had a chance to move to their notes in the middle of the circle.
3. If someone comes to the middle of the circle on the wrong note they are out.

OBJECTIVE: Steady beat, identifying the music notes, and moving correctly to the music notes.
