The big blue jello cards - set 1 are a larger version of our popular blue jello cards set 1and feature the same 58 patterns.
Their larger size is multi-purpose and especially useful for larger groups and classes.
Just like the smaller cards, Big Blue Jello Cards - Set 1 are used to
teach a fun vocabulary of rhythmic words for reading rhythms, writing
rhythms, understanding note and rest values and notating compositions.
These cards help all levels of students to learn:
- The difference between a note and a rest
- A fun vocabulary to read single notes, rests and note groupings
- To keep a steady beat when reading rhythms
- A vocabulary to identify rhythms by listening
- The relative values of basic notes and rests
- To divide notes and rests into measures
- Hand signs to understand how notes and rests are drawn and increase finger dexterity and promote kinethestic learning of rhythm
- To read musical scores with confidence
Notes
- Like all Music Mind Games materials, the Blue Jello Cards Set 1 are
not used as flash cards. Instead, they are read together, and students
learn by imitating the pronunciation, steady beat, and tempo of their
teacher's voice.
- Each new note or rest is introduced one at a time. The new note or
rest first appears on one card in context with previously learned notes
and rests. The next card features only the new note or rest. This
sequence is followed by several cards with the new note or rest and
previously learned notes and rests.
- Cards have various numbers of beats so when time signatures are learned, one meter doesn’t feel “more correct” than another one.
