Beet the Beats - Note Value Recognition

Beet the Beat- Reinforce Note Values

Beet the beat is a wonderful tool that lets students visualize how many counts a note or a rest receives in a quirky, memorable way.

These beets have multiple uses:

• Visual aid when explaining how many counts a note receives. 
• Use the beets when composing a song.
• Have students construct "beets" from their songs and then clap or drum the rhythm.
• Find the missing beet. Construct a rhythm but leave a beat out and have your students figure out the missing beet. 
• Use the plain beets to talk about the root of the chord! 

The possibilities are endless when it comes to these beets.  

This is a favorite resource in our music school (even the drum teachers LOVE them). 

Now you gotta lettuce turnip the beet! ?
