I bought flat sheets of Lego base sheets at Wal-Mart, and cut them into strips. I took the (2-bump) Lego pieces and wrote numbers on them (1 to 4) to represent the beats. I put them on the base strip and added 4 bar lines.

 Once students have created their 4-bar rhythm pattern, they copy it onto their Lego worksheet.

Students can then practice playing their rhythm on an instrument.
