Elementary Elvis

Students will learn a little about Elvis Presley's life through a short biography. There are 10 questions to assess them on what they just read.

An instrument is hiding on each slide. A few clues are shared. Your students can guess which instrument is hiding! Click the Halloween images to reveal the answer on each slide!

Great for Christmas parties! Players try to guess the Christmas carol based on the picture shown. Answers are included.

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.

Younger students will enjoy this coloring activity in the spring! This sheet features quarter notes, half notes, eighth notes, whole notes and quarter rests.

Students will love this energetic game! Divide your class into two teams (personalize it yourself with you school colors if you wish!) One black team, one gold team. One member from each team will come forward to your interactive board or projector. A note will be displayed and the first one to shout out the correct answer gets a point for their team! The answer will also be displayed after they answer so this would be a good thing to leave for the sub or to assign for practice at home. Don't ha

Students will compose their own body percussion rhythms with this template. Great to leave for a sub or a good time filler. They can have fun performing for their classmates.

Students will be ready for summer with this quick time signature worksheet. Students will match each rhythmic example to the correct bucket (time signature). Take it a step further and clap each rhythm together in class.

Students can become super creative with this project! This is a good lesson for the end of the year or anytime! Research a composer. Look for details about his/her life. Select an image (Croc charm)  online that can be used to convey their life. For example, if the composer was from France, use a French Flag or an Eiffel Tower charm! Get creative!

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. Only a few notes are used so this isn't too complicated. This would be great for an elementary music classroom and a beginning band mallet section to practice with. Slides include the words so you can sing along!

Students will have fun writing their own blues verses with this easy to follow template. File includes an example sheet. Have fun!

Students will match their candy to the correct bags in this rhythm activity. Perfect for Halloween time!

A simple way to communicate with your students. Jot down their scale fingerings, what to review and what is new. Great way to keep track of progress.

Students will identify the different types of notes and color them accordingly. If they are correct, they will create a beautiful stained glass frame!

Great way to organize your lessons!

Students will color these flowers based on how many beats they see!
