These beautiful little printables will help you teach steady beat in a fun, tactile way. Children tap a heart for each beat to help them feel that "steady heartbeat of the song." Once they are able to hear, see, and feel the beat, slip the charts inside a wipeable surface (like a sheet protector) and let them puzzle out how many sounds per beat. So many possibilities with these charts - tried-and-true in my classroom with learners of all ages.
 
Included are beat charts for:
8 beats in 2-beat units
8 beats in 4-beat units
12 beats in 3-beat units
16 beats in 4-beat units
24 beats in 4-beat units
24 beats in 3-beat units
