Title: Time Signature Practice
Time Signature Practice
The top number tells us how many beats are in each measure.
The five on top means that there are five beats in each measure.
The bottom number tells us what kind of note receives a single beat.
The four on the bottom means that a quarter note gets one beat.
To Do: Draw one quarter note, one quarter rest or pair of eighth notes in each beat box.
Then write your rhythm pattern in the empty measures.
Then write your rhythm pattern in the measures.
The five on top means that there are 5 beats in each measure.
To Do: Write how many beats each note or rest receives in 2 time. (Hint: It’s the same as D.)
- 1. Quarter Note =
- 2. Half Note =
- 3. Whole Note =
- 4. Pair of Eighth Notes =
- 5. Quarter Rest =

Title: Time Signature 5-4
5/4 Time Signature
5/4 is a Complex Time Signature
Most simple time signatures are balanced, meaning the strong beats are spread equally across the measure. If you were walking or moving to music in a simple time signature, you would be moving at a regular pace. But with 5/4 time and other complex time signatures, your movements might feel a bit unusual, like your right leg has to move faster than your left!
Strong Beats
5/4 is unbalanced
Strong beats in 5/4 alternate between every 3 beats and 2 beats.
Balanced Time Signatures
4/4 time has strong beats every 2 beats.
6/8 time has strong beats every 3 beats.
To do:
Draw boxes around the strong-beat groups and circle whether the example uses a balanced or unbalanced time signature! The first one has been done for you!
Fun Fact!
Did you know the Mission Impossible Theme is in 5/4 time?

If teacher is comfortable, teach the song by rote.
If you prefer, use the audio track to teach by rote: pause after each phrase and have the kids echo
This will help to learn the Spanish words as well.
Then sing the entire song with the audio track.

Hint for teaching passing games: Start with whatever you want to pass in front of the teacher. (cups, sticks, beanbags). The teacher picks up one, says "Pick up" and on the words "set down" sets it in front of the student to her right. Then the student and teachers "pick up" and set down." Then three "pick up" and set down." Continue until all have the object. They will be more successful passing in the same direction if you start this way.
Game Directions: Students pass a cup to the right on beats one and three. On beats two and four, they pick up the cup that is in front of them. On the words “triki triki trón” the cup is waved to the right, to the left, and then set down to the right. "Al citron" is fun to learn, and when it is learned, you can teach even more challenging cup games.
