Rhythm Pulse Activity Book - Who has a Brother?

The Rhythm Pulse Activity Book presents an engaging musical game titled "Who has a Brother?" which is designed to be a call and response activity between a teacher or leader and the children. The game is structured around a series of questions and answers, with each line set to a four-beat rhythm. The leader poses a question such as "Who has a brother?" or "Who has blue eyes?" and the children respond with "I have a brother" or "I have blue eyes" if the statement applies to them. The musical notation provided indicates the rhythm for each phrase, ensuring that participants maintain the correct tempo during the game.

This activity serves as a fun way to explore personal characteristics and preferences among the group while also teaching rhythm and timing. When a question is asked that is clearly untrue for all participants, such as "Who has purple eyes?", the group is expected to observe four beats of silence, highlighting the humorous aspect of the game. Initially, there may be some delays as children think about their responses, leading to discussions about various topics such as eye colour or family relationships. However, as the children become more accustomed to the game, their responses become more timely and rhythmically accurate. The book also offers additional question suggestions to extend the game, covering topics like hair length, clothing colours, and interests like football or music.
