"Best Carnival of the Animals resource I've purchased." - Faith S.

The Carnival of the Animals Activity Packet is designed to introduce students to the music of Camille Saint-Saëns. With these listening activities, students will become familiar with each character in this work and develop a deeper appreciation for the music.

Students use musical context clues to understand the instruments, perceive differences, and identify shared characteristics across species. The heart of this resource is the listening activities where student groups listen to the piece together and note their observations. This allows students to compare notes, ask questions, discuss different parts of the work, and improve their listening skills.

There are fourteen movements based on animals, including elephants, birds, tortoises, and even lions! From the magical notes of "Aquarium" to the soothing strings of "The Swan," Saint-Saëns' "The Carnival of the Animals" is a wondrous musical journey.
