Valentine's Word Composition and Games

This section offers a variety of downloadable resources. You will find a Valentine Cinnamon Hearts Listening Lesson, solfa and rhythm flashcards, note value coloring pages for your students and a "What makes a good friend?" interactive.

The Cinnamon Hearts Listening Lesson is a great activity aiming to teach rhythmic meters and patterns in a fun way. It starts with students moving to drum beats, identifying rhythms in twos, threes, or fours. Then, they tap out rhythms using cinnamon hearts or stickers to match the time signatures of the music playing.
