The sense of rhythm is an integral part of the musical ear, so it must be developed from a young age. The music game "The Slapstick" develops this feeling, but it requires a high concentration of attention from children, therefore, it is more suitable for primary school students than for the preparatory group of kindergarten.

Rules of the game: Participants in the game "Slam" are in a circle facing the center and prepare to slam. The leader sets the rhythm - beats the quarter or half notes with his palms, the children simultaneously pick up. This is the first stage - at this moment the participants work synchronously, in one team. The rhythm changes a little - two claps with emphasis on a strong beat (first or second strike), it is very important that students also clearly allocate a strong share.

When the children are ready for a certain teamwork, you can move on to the second part of the competition - every man for himself. The main task will be to transfer the "cracker" to the neighbor. The presenter sets the rhythm with a few claps and at some point passes the blow to the neighbor to the left, who, in turn, should not give up the rhythmic pattern and pass the clap to the neighbor. Thus, the "crackers" goes in a circle, but the main thing here is to save the specified pattern. As the children get familiar with the task, the rhythm should be changed, making it more difficult. In order to maintain interest in the task, the lost participants can leave the circle, so that only a few children will reach the most complex rhythmic pattern, and they will become the winners.
