We had some beautiful weather this week, so 6th grade students in Mrs. Eden’s music class practiced their time signature skills in an unconventional way: outside.

6th Grade Choir is learning about music theory, particularly time signatures like 4/4 or 6/8. As a break from the norm, the class went outside to practice their newfound knowledge by playing Time Signature Tag.

How does it work? Mrs Eden would call a time signature like 4/4 or 6/8 and students would have to know how many beats in each measure that meant. Students would then take that many steps. If the tagger tagged a student, they were out.

The activity was a great way to practice the principles students have been learning in class a different way that was memorable and definitely enjoyable!
