Creative Rhythmic
A creative rhythm is an end product of movements as children learn to move the parts of their body and to use them as instruments of expression.
Creative rhythm is a wonderful way for children to explore self-expression through movement. It allows them to discover the art of using their bodies as instruments. This can foster creativity, coordination, and a deeper connection to music and movement. Encouraging children to engage in creative rhythm activities can be a fun and educational experience.
Rhythm activities
