Before playing this halloween rhythm game you need to prepare the free printable rhythm cards. You can print them by clicking here or on the image below. Mount the sheet on card and cut it into five strips for each of the different characters. Spend a little time teaching and practicing each character’s rhythm, so that the children can recognise which is which.
Younger children may only be able to recognise the rhythms of two or three different characters, but older children can give learning all five a go. So adapt as you go depending on the age of your children, or the class.
How to Play The Scary Witch Halloween Rhythm Game:
- Place the cards in a bag with some tone blocks or a tambourine, on the floor behind a stool or chair. One child is chosen to be the witch, and sits on the chair at other end of the room.
- The rest of the children then take it in turns to be brave enough to creep up on the witch. When they are close enough, they reach in the bag and pick a card, then they tap the rhythm.
- The witch listens carefully, without turning around. If she identifies the character/rhythm correctly, then she can turn around and try to catch the child.
- The child has to run back across to the “safe” side of the room, without getting caught. If they do get caught, then they will be the next witch.
It is a rather familiar game, similar to What’s The Time Mr Wolf, but with some musical listening and a Halloween twist!

Reviews for "The Rhythm Witch's Secret Formula for Creating Musical Spells"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Rhythm Witch". The story felt disjointed and confusing, with characters that were difficult to connect with. The writing style was also a struggle for me, with excessive descriptions and unnecessary details that slowed down the pacing. Overall, I found it hard to stay engaged and ended up losing interest before finishing the book.
2. Jake - 1 star - I couldn't get through "The Rhythm Witch" no matter how hard I tried. The plot seemed interesting at first, but the execution was lackluster. The writing was clunky and there were too many filler scenes that didn't contribute much to the overall story. Additionally, the character development was weak, and I couldn't find myself caring about any of the protagonists. It's unfortunate because I had high hopes for this book, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.
3. Lisa - 2 stars - "The Rhythm Witch" had a promising concept, but it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and I found myself disengaged and easily distracted while reading. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. I tried to push through and finish the book, but unfortunately, it never managed to captivate my attention. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others unless they have a particular interest in the genre.
4. Michael - 3 stars - I had mixed feelings about "The Rhythm Witch". While the concept was intriguing, the execution didn't quite meet my expectations. The plot had potential, but the pacing was uneven, and the story suffered from excessive exposition. I also found some of the side characters to be underdeveloped, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. However, the author's descriptive writing style was a highlight, and there were moments of genuine suspense and intrigue that kept me invested. It's not a book I would necessarily recommend, but it may still appeal to fans of the genre.
