Once the students master the pattern, give all the students the same color rhythm sticks except for one that is a different color. The students will then be able to see the one different color stick travel around the circle. After the rhythm pattern has been taught you can introduce the monster. The monster makes scary faces at the students in the circle. With a tambourine the monster can keep the beat while the students in the circle continue with the rhythm pattern.
Kids can take turns being the monster.
