About Tap the Beat
Colorful notes slide down the lanes while a soft drum keeps the beat. When your child taps a lane just as its note reaches the pad, the note rings out, so the melody is played one tap at a time. A missed note stays silent and the song simply goes on.
How to play
- Watch the colorful round notes fall down the lanes.
- Tap a lane just as its note reaches the pad at the bottom.
- With a keyboard, use D, F, J and K, the arrow keys or the number keys.
What your child practices
- Keeping a steady beat
- Tapping in time
- Listening to a melody
- Low and high notes
How it grows with your child
TinyAges 2-4
Three lanes and a slow song, with a note only on every second beat.
LittleAges 4-6
Three lanes and a livelier song, with a note on every beat.
YoungAges 6-8
Four lanes and a quicker, longer song. Tapping an empty lane blocks it for a moment.
Big KidsAges 8-11
Four lanes at top speed, extra notes between the beats and the least time to tap.
Play together
Before playing, clap a slow beat together and count one, two, three, four, just like the drum in the game.
