Center: Rhythms of the Heart



This is one of my kindergarten centers. At this center, students create 4-beat rhythm patterns using sticks (for Ta's & Ti-Ti's) and pipe cleaners (for rest). I have strips of poster board with 4 hearts outlined on each - this is where they create their patterns. Once they have laid out the sticks and pipe cleaners on their heart beat sheet, they copy the rhythm pattern onto their worksheet (to help them practice writing music notes). They can also play their patterns on a non-pitched percussion instrument.
