Pass The Beat

In this excerpt, students play the game, Pass the beat around the room. Standing in a circle, each student must say one beat from the phrase, pass-the-beat a-round the room. If they happen to be the rest at the end of the phrase, they are to touch their shoulders on the beat. Students who are out sit down, but still count for a beat with the remaining students saying the missing words in their head. Once students become comfortable, the word beat is replaced with a stamp.
