Move to the Steady Beat Body Percussion Activities : Quarter Note

Let’s move to the beat! Move to the beat for elementary music classes is a great way to get students to feel the beat in a variety of learning opportunities. Your students will move, read, write and create steady beat patterns using flashcards, worksheets, video and google slides activities. These materials are specifically made for your younger elementary music students to learn to feel and show the steady beat and learn the quarter note. The action video, teaching presentation, flash cards, worksheet and google slides activities provide diverse learning opportunities for your students to have fun learning rhythms.

OVERVIEW:

Google Apps: Students love moving the images into the boxes to create their very own rhythm patterns. Keep engagement high in your virtual classes using interactive google slides activities. Keep on teaching rhythms, practice, assess using the presentation, video and google slides drag and drop activities.
