Autumn Rhythm Game for Preschoolers

October 15, 2019 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

Autumn is such a wonderful time of year with so many great ways to explore the changing season. This Autumn Rhythm Game is a great way to explore all the sounds and rhythms that it brings, from fluttering leaves to falling conkers.

Every walk brings home a new autumn treasure, so go for a forage and see what you can find!

Autumn Rhythm Game for Preschoolers

The Autumn Rhythm Game can be played in a variety of different ways depending on the age and ability of the children you have in the group.

How to Play the Autumn Rhythm Game

First, print off the free rhythm cards.

The easiest way to play the Autumn Rhythm Game is a straightforward game of pairs. Stick the printable onto card, cut along the dotted line and then you can match the corresponding rhythm to the picture.

You can also turn it into a listening game by choosing different percussion instruments for each sound. This is a great way to involve the kids too, but it also depends on the percussion instruments that you have to hand. You could try something like wooden sticks for the conkers or maracas and shakers for the wind. It’s a great way to get creative!

  • First decide which instrument belongs to which rhythm card.
  • Then hide the cards in a bag.
  • The children then pick a card and try to choose the correct instrument to tap the rhythm and make the matching autumn sound.
