Evaluation and Reinforcement Game: Improvisation of Steal the Bacon
The class is divided into four teams each team forms a line behind the masking tape found on the floor. The lines are distinguished by color. The line should be formed with the first person in each line facing the first person on another team. Between each set of teams are two cards, one with a rest symbol(red-symbolizing stop) and one with a cancelled out rest symbol(green- symbolizing that the measure has no rest). The teacher will clap a measure of "Peas Porridge Hot." When the measure is completed the first student at the beginning of each line will race to grab the appropriate card, - if the measure had a rest they will get the card with the rest symbol if it doesn't they will get the card without. Each correct card will be awarded a point for that team. The team with the most points wins. All students will be rewarded with a sticker for their participation.
