The activity you did with the pool noodles you can also do with the popsicle sticks. Instead of googly eyes use permanent marker to draw quarter-eighth-half and whole notes and rests. You can purchase quart baggies @ DT to put 5 of each note/rest type in baggie. distribute each baggie of sticks to a group of 2 students. Give them a meter and watch them form and perform their own rhythms.

You’re welcome Amy!
Teachers showing their school ID may get a 10% discount at Dollar Tree. Not all stores do offer it, so make sure to ask first!

Thank you, Erin and others for your great ideas. This summer while taking Level 2 Orff, I found foam counting blocks in different colors, 50 in a pack for rondo form, writing rhythm patterns on, etc. at Dollar Store. Also, small, fluffy, colored balls for form games, staccato, etc.; stuffed animals: elephant, puppy for mixed meter 5/4 time (I was tired of strawberry, apple!) & a groovy, flower covered fly swatter for pointing, reading the wall, or reading rhythms!
