It's never a bad time to review rhythms with your students, and have we got an interactive game for you!

Our HEARTBEATS INTERACTIVE GAME is a great way to not only review beats and rhythms but tie in technology as well!

This is a zipped resource that includes a presentation software interactive game, and accompanying worksheets if you'd like to use them! Since the game is a presentation file format, you can upload and use this with popular presentation applications such as Google Slides, Mac Keynote, and Microsoft PowerPoint, and you can try to upload this

Heart Beats uses words and stick notation to review Quarter Notes, 8th Notes, 16th Notes, and Quarter Rests.

In the presentation file, you will have the following slides after the title and direction slides:

• Quarter and 8th Notes as words: Heart and Heart Beats
• Quarter Notes and Rests and 8th Notes as Words: Heart, Heart Beat, and SHH.
• Quarter Notes and Rests, 8th Notes, and 16th Notes as words: Heart, Heart Beat, Tasty Candy, and SHH.
• Quarter and 8th Notes as Stick Notation
• Quarter Notes and Rests and 8th Notes as Stick Notation
• Quarter Notes and Rests, 8th Notes, and 16th Notes as Stick Notion.

To play the game, simply select the slide you'd like to use with your kids, drag the colored hearts to the blank hearts on the slide and you've composed your own heartbeat! It's that easy! Everything else is locked down so the only moveable objects in the slides are the hearts to compose with.

As a bonus, we've also included a set of 18 worksheets to go along with the game if you'd like to include them or use them as a stand-alone activity as well. On the worksheets there is enough room for students to compose four of their own heart beats in 4/4 time. These worksheets use the stick notation only and include:
