Ging Gang Gooli (Time Signature 2-4 Missing Bar Lines)

  • This worksheet is designed to promote students' understanding of 2/4 metre.
  • The first question requires students to explain the time signature. (Answer: There are 2 crotchet beats [quarter note beats] in each bar.)
  • The second question instructs students to fill in the missing bar lines.
  • The third question gives students the opportunity to create a rhythm in 2/4 metre.

Students can write their rhythm on the staff lines provided, or they might like to write a melody with their rhythm!

The words of the song this worksheet is based on are 'nonsense syllables' i.e. not real words. The pictures chosen are reflecting children having fun, just as you could expect them to have fun singing the song!
