STEADY BEAT - USING BINGO MARKERS

Very elemental idea this week.  Once children have mastered steady beat, have them show the beat by tapping a single picture of a heart while reciting a familiar rhyme or speech piece.  If they can tap the heart picture on each beat, give them bingo markers.  They can use the bingo markers to indicate how many beats in a rhyme or speech piece by tapping the marker on poster paper (or making a mark) as they repeat a familiar rhyme or speech piece.  The total number of "spots" will show them how many total beats there will be.



Once they know how many total beats there are in the rhyme, have them lay a heart-shaped pattern on each of the colored bingo marker spots.  Rearranging the hearts to determine phrases will come later.
