2nd Grade Back to School Centers

"My students loved creating their "Music Superheroes!" while we listened to superhero theme songs! They really enjoyed listening to the classical pieces chosen and were excited to find pieces they had heard before in class." - Music with Mrs. Kennedy

Build a Classical Superhero! Each activity uses the students initial(s) to decode a music-inspired name, instrument, and theme song. Great for a back to school, mini class activity, or a music center.

The objective is to assemble a variety of musical qualities for the hero. Each superhero will have a different story, briefly told through their theme song and other choices. Creative writing or storytelling is encouraged.

Full-color pages for music centers/activities are included, with a variety of design and color options provided. The black & white version is also included.

What's Inside:

• Instruction Page An easy to follow guide of how to build a superhero is provided.
• Superhero Name Generator - Students use their first and last initials to generate a unique hero name. There are two choices per box to choose from - which adds variety if a student has the same first & last initials. The names are from classical composers and are not gender specific.
• Superhero Instrument Sounds - Will their superhero arrive with a loud trumpet blast or a soothing violin? The first letter of their name will lead them to the answer.
• Find Your Superhero Theme! - Every hero needs a theme, and a musical superhero is no exception. Each letter is associated with a popular classical music piece; making their themes easier to identify. A superhero theme will range from Bach'shauntingly beautiful "Toccata and Fugue" to the inspiring "Morning Mood" by Grieg.
• Meet Your Classical Superhero! - All of the activities come together here - students can choose between two characters as their heroes to name and color. The additional character can be their partner or sidekick. After their instrument and theme song have been filled in, students can use the checkbox to choose which musical era they are from.

Addition Games!

Black & White Copies:

Print Gameboards B&W, 2 crayons, & provide spinner. Partners take turns. You are not moving markers around the gameboard as in a normal board game, just follow the path and take your turn answering questions. On your turn, spin spinner, if for example you spin 2, answer the first 2 spaces, if answered correctly color in your 2 spaces with your color. (second chances may be determined before the game starts) If answered incorrectly partner may attempt to answer correctly and color the space their color. If both players are incorrect, leave space uncolored or continue to take turns until answered correctly (get out the manipulatives to prove your answer). Then the turn goes to the next player, continue in this manner around the gameboard. When you reach the end, each player counts the number of spaces they colored to determine the winner.

Colored Laminated Copies:

Follow the directions above, but instead of coloring in spaces, use colored cubes for each player to leave on their spaces along the path. When finished they can count their cube color to determine the winner.
