Bring rhythm to life in your classroom with Echo the Beat, an engaging and interactive IWB (Interactive Whiteboard) lesson designed to develop your students' listening, memory, and coordination skills through the fun of body percussion!

In this dynamic music activity, students listen carefully to a sequence of body percussion sounds—claps, stomps, pats, and snaps—and challenge themselves to echo the rhythm back.

After performing, students can cross-check the sequence visually to see if they matched the pattern correctly, building confidence and reinforcing rhythmic accuracy.

Perfect for music lessons, brain breaks, or as an energising start to the day, Echo the Beat supports auditory discrimination, pattern recognition, and active listening. Ideal for primary school classrooms, music specialists, and general educators looking for an easy-to-use, no-prep music resource.
