Be-Bopping to note cards: All you'll need for this activity is card stock, and a black marker. I use different colors but you don't need to. Draw a few quarter, half, dotted half, whole, and eighth notes on card stock. Make a few of each note so that your rhythm combinations are endless. Laminate your cards. Lay down a rhythm pattern vertically on the floor based on what your students have learned so far.
Turn on the metronome to a slow speed and have your children walk next to (not on) the cards to the metronome beat. Have them go through the pattern a few times to a faster speed each time. Some kiddos will be able to step next to the cards and go through the rhythm sequence with very little help while others will need a few lessons to "get it". I have students who have been with me for over four years who still ask for this activity!
