HOW TO PLAY COMPOUND CONES MUSIC COUNTING GAME IN COMPOUND METERS

Our students have loved building their own ice cream cones as they play this music counting game in compound meters. The gameplay is simple: mix and match ice cream tops, middles, and bottoms to build ice cream cones! But you have to watch out – because the ice cream cones must be created with all three correct time meters! In addition to creating 10 mix ‘n’ match rhythm cones in each meter, some students like to match the exact rhythm for each ice cream cone piece (e.g. two dotted quarter notes for the top, middle, and bottom). However you choose to build your ice cream cone, finish up with clapping and counting the cones.
