Candy Rhythms!

I know Halloween is over, but in the spirit of fun (and leftover candy!) here's an activity that connects candy and rhythm.

Name some of your favorite Halloween candy (use the photo below for inspiration):

Take the names of those treats and see if you can identify their specific rhythms. For example:

Skittles = Ti Ti

Almond Joy = Ti Ti Ta

Starburst = Ti Ti

Lollipops = Ti Ti Ta

Students had a blast with this game, and we even created a chart to see how many candies have the same rhythmic patterns.

Bonus: Put a few pieces of candy in a row, and see if you can clap out the rhythm using the names. The possibilities are endless!
