This is a great activity for older elementary school to middle school students. They will get to perceptively listen to scary themes (Jason, Michael, Freddy) and then create their own villain and theme song. Students can even upload a drawing if you wish. They can create their theme using Beep Box (or you can edit the slides to use chrome music lab, splice, etc of your choice). Be sure to "make a copy for each student" when sharing on Google Classroom.

Students can work alone or with a partner to create spooky rhythms. They can perform them for their class! Students need to think of something having to do with Halloween (skull, bat, skeleton, jack-o-lantern) and think of the rhythm it makes (ex- "skull" = quarter note). They need to draw their item, notate it and print the word if you desire.

Use Chuck Berry's legendary "Run Run Rudolph" to have your students play along to a rockin' Christmas song! Students keep the steady beat throughout the song.

Slides include the words so you can sing along!
