Less than $5 Elementary School Music Games (by price, low to high)

Included in these rhythm bundle are 25 resources that you can utilize in grades 3-6. Games, dictation, worksheets, races, and more are in this bundle as the resources discuss longer rhythmic patterns, sixteenth notes, triplets, and long durations of rests.

Definitely a semester filler in here, terrific for reinforcing your 2nd half of the year with some of your upper grades, and with 30% off when bundled together, it's a sale you can't beat!

Need a fun back to school bingo activity for primary music? Check this out! It's what I'm going to use for part of my first lesson with my primary music classes.

Give each student a copy and be sure to read through it together as a class so that students know what things they will need to find out about their peers. Then have the students go around and find a person that satisfies each criteria. When everyone is done you can share the answers together to learn a little bit about your students. Enjoy!

In this charming resource for your little ones, your students will see a bumblebee navigate his way through the powerpoint presentation, up... and down... and UUUUUUUUUUP, and downnnnnnnn, and all around!

Have your students mimic the movement of the bee (autonomously animated) throughout 10 different slides and assess their vocal exploration!

For extensions and variations, have them try it with

• Dynamics (loud and soft)
• Rhythm Sticks (fast and slow)

Being able to identify rhythms being played is a key essential in any music classroom. How'd you like to make it extra challenging, partner?

In Rhythm Roundup, you'll have a variety of 1, 2, or 3 beat rhythms on the screen of all various notation (quarter, eighths, sixteenth, and rests). A musical example will be played and your little cowpokes will have to identify which rhythm is being played. Tap the right answer and it will illuminate green (all you need to do is advance the powerpoint or PDF!)

Included are 17 different music examples and tons of challenging rhythms to get your kids to think what they heard and line it up with what they see!

Something that'll satisfy your caffeine fix and your students understanding and mastery of rhythm!

In Rhythm Espresso, students will see an assortment of 10 famous beverages (by national coffee chains, of course) and accompanying coffee logos with rhythms in them. One of the rhythms match the rhythmic syllabes said in the beverage name.

Have your students select the rhythm they believe to be correct, advance the slide, and the correct rhythm will illuminate green!

Works well with boys vs girls, team vs team, individually, or even as a distance learning activity!

In a competitive note naming game, you can practice your lines and spaces while getting out a little energy with your students! In Pitch to the Pitch, students will be split into groups (boys vs girls, colors vs colors, teams vs teams, however you wish) and one representative will stand in front of the whiteboard to represent their team. They will both use one suction cup ball to play the game (can be found at the dollar store or target for a few bucks!)

They will be show a line or a space note (bottom line E up to top line F) and see two or three corresponding circles above the pitch. One of those circles will be the correct pitch -- encourage your students to pitch their ball to the correct answer... whoever gets it the fastest wins (advance it to the next slide to reveal the answer in green)

Have a great time with this and as always, leave questions in the comments if you need anything :)

This is a competitive solfege naming game in powerpoint format. The learning goal is for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to name solfege hand signs as fast as they can. We usually play this game 'around the world' style. We start off on the left side or right side of the the room and the first two people stand up and you flash a note on the screen.The student who gets the note correct gets to move onto the next child in the class while the other student sits. Despite the previews, the solfege symbol has a blank below it, and on the next animation it will appear. That student has to make their way through the entire class before being deemed champion... but they could be beat at ANY TIME! You can mix it up, left side, right side, boys/girls, etc. Kids get ultra competitive, especially in 5th grade.

The follow-up to "Rhythm Wind Up and PITCH! and MELODY Wind Up and PITCH!"
______________________________________

This one will get the kids on their edge of their seats!

You will need 1 thing for this particular game:

• A sticky suction cup ball (or maybe a soft squishy ball)

The students will see an instrument at the bottom of their screen and memorize the timbre of the instrument (should know beforehand what it is and how it sounds!) They will then hear a musical example of an endless loop of orchestral and band instruments playing in all different ranges from low to high (Teacher will click the speaker icon to play)

Take a listen...

....

....

One of the instruments will be the instrument that is on the screen. AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THAT INSTRUMENT, they throw their suction cup ball at the target. The first kid who gets it correct is the winner (and make sure you advance the slide to make the target turn green) :)

Obviously, we cannot play this as a class because of

1. The amount of suction cup balls tossed at the screen would be insane

2. Team A v Team B would be a bit more competitive and only two balls would be launched at once

If you don't have a whiteboard/projection screen, you can alternatively have the students raise their hand when they hear it and choose the kid who has their hand up the fastest.

Have a great time with this fast paced game!

In this SPEEDY game, your violin students will see a white dot appear on one of the violin strings (as shown on the powerpoint) corresponding within a tape (first finger, second, third, and so on)

They will then see a multiple choice selection of note names (A, C#, F#, etc) and have to guess which not appears on the white dot -- AS FAST AS THEY CAN!

Advance the slide to show the correct answer!

Towards the end of the presentation, the multiple choice disappears and there will be just the white dot on the violin string and the student will have to guess

Of course... as fast as they can

You can do it team vs team, side vs side, or even have them rally it up and try to name as many in a specific amount of time. Have a great time with this!

The Symphony Orchestra just performed and Steve the Sanitation Engineer has a cart full of leftover notes from the concert. His primary job is to recycle them quickly to turn them into more music. In this game, your students will see a note appear on the screen and have to say how many beats are shown. After the student gets the correct answer "4 beats", "2 beats", "7 beats", etc, the powerpoint slide advances, and the animated note gets thrown into the Rhythm Recycler! For all of their hard work, they earn cold hard CASH! Keep track of the cash in the upper right hand corner of the power while students reinforce understanding notation values. You can play this as a class, individually, boys vs. girls, class vs. class whatever you wish! I usually play this as a class and have each student individually go behind the projector and yell the beats, and let the next student come up. I put on a 3 or 4 minute timer with background music and they'll see their finally tally of cash at the end. Very cool and VERY competitive! Engaging lesson to the max! All of the animations are embedded inside the powerpoint, and works with Microsoft Office 2007 and up. Also included is the PDF file just in case you want to use that instead. There's also a non-standard font included which you need to install if you use the powerpoint and there are directions included in the ZIP file how to install. If you have any questions, please let me know by sending me an email - jasonlitt@gmail.com. Have fun!

Students (keeping in true Jeopardy! fashion) can answer in the form of a question "What is a Bassoon?" "What is a Trumpet?" "What is the Timpani?"

This is an interactive game to get your kids reading rhythms, moving their bodies, and exerting their energy! We take spaces on the staff and assign them an action (bottom space F, stomp, second space A pat, third space C clap, fourth space E snap). You are welcome to play background music (any music with tempi from 120-140 is acceptable), and you give 4 beats of prep and the students must decipher the rhythms with their percussive body rhythms. There is a "Hi Score" counter at the top for the class to see how well they are progressing and it becomes quite competitive between grades and grade levels. It starts off fairly easy with quarters in the first few rounds, but then gets into eighths, rests, dynamics, crescendos, much more! Have fun with this, it's a hit!

The newest sensation, "Write the Room" has an athletic twist to surely get your 4th and 5th grade boys engaged too as we present to you an NFL Notation version of the popular game!

In Write the Room, students will all receive a sheet of paper with 9 answer boxes with an NFL logo representing each box. There will be 9 sheets (placed strategically around the room by you!) that students will have to find and write the rhythm down that accompanies that logo. Once all 9 answers are completed, they will show to you to verify that all rhythms are correct!

To play:

• Print the "Write the Room" NFL master file to 5 sheets and cut along the dotted lines. Place these anywhere you wish around the room (and of course, the level of difficulty of where to place it is COMPLETELY up to you!)
• Print a class set of the "Write the Room" NFL Student Answer sheets (it's okay if it's not in color, it can be in black and white or grayscale, the students will know the teams by heart!)
• Make sure everyone has something to write with it and... GO!

Play some music in the background and have the kids roam around the room as fast as they can. Neatness counts! :D

How do you find a winner? Up to you! Top 3, Top 5, best handwriting, fastest pair, fastest group, up to you!

Have a great time with this!

Bring the fun of "Where's Waldo?" into music class with "Where's Notation?"!

Students will see squares with a single quarter note positioned on the treble clef staff (E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E, and F) and will be asked "Where's __?" (Where's C? Where's E? etc...).

Students will have to work to quickly find the letter on the board (either time limited, group vs group, individual vs individual, however you'd like it!)

As soon as they find it, illuminate the box by pressing the advance button on the slide!

Round 1 has 8 boxes

Have a great time with this!

Want to engage your competitive 4th and 5th graders (and even some younger grades) towards the end of the year (or any time of year for that matter?) Try on this brand new game "Boom in a FLASH"

In "Boom in a FLASH", students will see one Boomwhacker color appear on the screen (PowerPoint presentation). The student who is holding that Boomwhacker must play the note (on the ground, hand, elbow, desk, whatever have you!), and then they automatically advance to the next slide...

... to another color!

Keep it going, keep reading because... they're being timed! They will have 30 seconds to amass as many notes as they can (timer included) before the time runs out and they look at their high score (which is kept below).

There are 4 "50" score levels in this presentation. All you do as a teacher is start the clock, start the presentation, and manually press the "next slide" button to advance each time they get it correct. Tally up the points at the end for the high score!

You can play this....

• As a grade level (Class vs Class vs Class vs Class vs Class)
• Side A vs Side B
• Boys vs Girls
• Or however you wish!

It sure gets these kids paying attention (because they're held accountable for playing their note when their color is up!).

This one will get the kids on their edge of their seats!

You will need 1 thing for this particular game:

• A sticky suction cup ball (or maybe a soft squishy ball)

The students will see a rhythm at the bottom of their screen and memorize the rhythm or say it back in their head (just make sure the rhythm is not spoken out loud). They will then hear a musical example of an endless loop of rhythms separated by 4 beats each in between rhythms. (Teacher will click the speaker icon to play)

Take a listen...

....

....

One of the rhythms will be the rhythm that is on the screen. AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THAT RHYTHM, they throw their suction cup ball at the target. The first kid who gets it correct is the winner (and make sure you advance the slide to make the target turn green) :)

Obviously, we cannot play this as a class because of

1. The amount of suction cup balls tossed at the screen would be insane

2. Boys vs Girls would be a bit more competitive and only two balls would be launched at once

If you don't have a whiteboard/projection screen, you can alternatively have the students raise their hand when they hear it and choose the kid who has their hand up the fastest.

Quarter Notes, Eighth Note pairs, and Quarter Rests are covered in this lesson.

Have a great time with this fast paced game!
