Rhythm Words
Clap the words, learn rhythm
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The whole seven-grove course is free: say the word, tap its rhythm, see it measured honestly. Built on the Kodaly method for ages 6-8.
Rhythm Words turns words your child already knows into music.
Say "AP-ple" — that's two sounds. Say "WA-ter-mel-on" — that's four. In Rhythm Words the picture is cut into as many pieces as the word has syllables, so a child can SEE the rhythm before tapping it. Say the word out loud, tap it back, and Pippo the chick hops along the branches.
It is built on the Kodaly method — the way music teachers have taught rhythm to small children for decades.
THE WHOLE COURSE IS FREE
All seven groves, every rhythm from quarter notes to sixteenths, the free-play mode and the grown-up report come with the free Fruits pack. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking.
HOW A SESSION GOES
- Listen: Pippo plays a bar
- Say the word out loud — this is the part that actually teaches
- Tap it back: every tap is measured to the millisecond
- The next grove opens when most taps land in time
FOR GROWN-UPS
Behind a parental gate there is an honest timing report: is your child a little early, a little late, or right on — measured against what is normal at ages 6 to 8. We show the median, not the best result. No flattery, no stars for nothing.
MADE FOR SMALL HANDS AND FOR CLASSROOMS
- iPhone and iPad, landscape, one big tap zone — nothing to miss
- A clap-along warm-up with no scoring at all
- "My Rhythm": build your own bar and Pippo performs it
- No internet, no accounts, no analytics, no data collection of any kind
OPTIONAL
Three more worlds — Animals, Toys and Transport — are available as one optional one-time purchase, and only behind the parental gate. Same rhythms, new words and pictures. The method itself stays free.
