Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template

Free Rhythm Case: Split the Beat

Two eighth notes share one beat. Write "1 &" under the notes, give each note its beats, and fill a bar of 4/4.

Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

The cover: a stopwatch, a notebook and a pencil, with the title Piano Note Detective, Eighth Notes: Two Sounds in One Beat
Case 1: the story and a Learn box with a quarter note and two pairs of eighth notes counted 1, 2 &, 3, 4 &
Tasks: write the counts under a rhythm and fill a bar of 4/4
