Less than $5 2nd Grade Other (Music) Printables (by date, oldest first)

Switching gears into November, we present to you "Thanksgiving Rhythm Compositions" for your students!

Included are two printable and reproducable 8.5x11" sheets with 9 thanksgiving themed rhythms on them. Print these out and use to have students, groups of students, or even teachers and interns compose their own rhythms!

• Compose the rhythms however you wish... 2 beats long, 4 beats long, 8 beats long, etc
  • Speak it out (to themselves and the class)
  • Play it out (rhythm sticks, drums, etc)
  • Mix it up
  • Collaborate with others
  • Turn it into a round, a canon, a two part, etc

Print, cut, and go! Included rhythms are quarter note, eighth note pairs, triplets, and four sixteenth note

If you're working on melodic contours, high and low, and direction, this may be for you!

Included are 16 printable cards you can reproduce, cut out, and issue to your students.

Play these melodies on a piano, clarinet, slide whistle, however you wish! Then, ask the students to place the card which they think best resembled the melody you played.
Although there are 16 cards, you can ask students to do 4 cards a time (by telling them which cards they are to us), play the melody, and then they can choose from the multiple choice answers you allotted to them.

The image files can be put into a powerpoint as well and you can us it as an answer key after you play the melodic example.

Have fun with this on your quest to discover melodious melodies

Working on the lines of the treble clef staff? Here's a fun way to have your students use their knowledge and solve a puzzle with Mystery Word! The Mystery Word package includes 50 challenging words and/or phrases that are spelled using the musical letters (A,B,C,D,E,F, and G) of the treble clef staff. Blank letter boxes are below the note on the staff for the students to fill in. Some words and phrases are easy, but some get pretty difficult! Included are three files: The teacher version, a PDF file with 50 pages in PDF format to use as a class activity. The student version, a PDF file you can print out with 25 pages, 2 puzzles to each page you can individual give to students. (If printed out and copied back-to-back, it only runs 13 pages per booklet) The answer key (just in case a substitute teacher needs it) ;) You can use this as a warmup to your lesson, or a lesson in itself -- it makes a great substitute teacher plan as well! It gets kids to critically think about the lines of the staff to fill in the blanks... my kids love it as it's fun and challenging. Would love to hear feedback how it's working in your classrooms. Any questions, you know where to find me. Have fun!
