Resource Round-Up
DSMusic Rhythm Bingo
Looking for some ready-made Rhythm Bingo sheets? Deb’s got it sorted for you.
This free resource is part of the Level 2 DSMusic curriculum and focuses on basic rhythmic values – it’s a great way to get your students clapping back and recognising rhythms.
You’ll find the instructions as well as the rhythm bingo cards themselves – though Deb recommends laminating these after you’ve printed them off. There are also some handy suggestions for other variations of bingo with a music theme.

Level 1: Lara’s Train
Using only the notes of the pentatonic scale and simple 2/4 time, this Deb Smith original composition chugs along on the track and is a great one to use when teaching and practicing semiquavers.
Level 3 Video: Transposition
Here, Deb takes students through the basics of transposition, giving them a solid theoretical foundation in this concept.
Students are introduced to transposition using interval patterns with C, G and F Major Scales.
