Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Do you think This may be better than teaching them 'semibreve has 4 counts. minim has 2 counts, etc and having them clap the counts?
My son started off in a music group with this and pretty much memorised them but doesnt always clap them right always.
But it seems that doing it this way sort of builds the rhythm into them.
I did learn the piano but I'm not a music scholar. This really helps. Cant wait to try this out! I'm sure my son will like it but I hope he doesnt get confused or discouraged. Would appreciate some advice on this.

I didn't have a short answer for you, so I turned it into a post:
