Calming Classical Music: A Thanksgiving Listening Activity Bundle for November

By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation

This calming Thanksgiving-themed classical music listening activity pack is perfect for winding down the year and reflecting on gratitude. Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and more - great for Thanksgiving activities, unit studies, and seasonal class parties!

"My students loved this! Perfect for before Thanksgiving break." - Jonathan L.

Music Appreciation Made Easy!

Do you need engaging print-and-go activities and brain breaks? The music featured in this activity packet is carefully curated and previewed - saving you hours of planning time. Just print and cue the music!

The selections are available on YouTube or your favorite streaming service. There are no wrong answers, and no musical training is required, so add a few to your sub plans, too!

Learning Objectives

  • increased knowledge of composers from different backgrounds
  • observe seasonal/holiday influences within a composition
  • familiarity with the composer's works
  • ability to recognize, and engage with, popular pieces of music
  • identify different instrument sounds
  • social-emotional exploration of feelings and moods within the music
  • creative expression by drawing and choosing colors related to a musical theme

Social-Emotional Learning

Listening to classical music has been shown to help with self-awareness, empathy, and self-regulation. Since social-emotional learning is essential for children, incorporating classical music into your classroom or homeschool is a great way to support their development.

Talk about the emotions evoked by the selected music. What does the music make them feel? Happy? Sad? Anxious? Peaceful? Help students identify and label their feelings. Ask open-ended questions about the music and encourage students to share their thoughts and feelings.

Discuss the different instruments used in the piece of music. What does each instrument contribute to the overall sound? Encourage students to make up a story based on the music. What is happening in the story? Who are the characters? Where does it take place?

While listening, students can draw a picture or scene that comes to mind. What colors are used? What shapes? Why?

These quick Easter activity sheets are just what you need for a quick and easy no-prep activity to keep the students happy in those last busy days before the Easter Break.

Students find them challenging and engaging and a whole lot of fun once they realize they can figure out the image as they go. I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do.

I personally use these colouring activities with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Science of Reading:

These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven colouring sheets on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

Halloween Mystery Puzzle- (No Prep)- The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

Looking for a fun and engaging way to celebrate Halloween with your students? The Halloween Mystery: The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is the perfect activity for the spooky season! This hands-on, interactive mystery is designed to keep students excited and thinking critically as they solve puzzles and uncover the culprit behind the stolen candy cauldron at the annual Monster Halloween Bash.

Background Story: Every year, the monsters—Frankenstein, Dracula, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, and witches—gather for the Annual Halloween Monster Bash, a highly anticipated event where they enjoy spooky fun, games, and candy. This year, however, something went terribly wrong. As the monsters were dancing and enjoying the festivities, the cauldron filled with candy mysteriously disappeared! The cauldron is the heart of the Monster Bash, and without it, the party can't go on. Someone had stolen the candy, and it was up to the students to find out which monster was responsible before Halloween was ruined!

Suspect List: Students will be introduced to six classic Halloween monsters who attended the party, and any one of them could be the candy thief. The suspects include:

  1. Limping Larry (the zombie)
  2. Wags Wolfington (the werewolf)
  3. Broomhilda (the witch)
  4. Frank E. Stein (Frankenstein’s monster)
  5. Baron Von Bat (the vampire)
  6. Spook E. Doo (the ghost)

Each monster has a unique personality, motive, and evidence that students will use to narrow down the suspects as they solve puzzles. Could it have been Frank E. Stein, who wanted to share the candy with his monster friends? Or maybe Baron Von Bat, who just wanted to show off by stealing the cauldron?
Puzzle Types:The activity includes four different types of Halloween-themed puzzles and ciphers that students will need to solve to gather clues. Each puzzle reveals new information, helping students cross off suspects from their list. The puzzles are designed to engage students while promoting problem-solving skills. Examples of puzzles include:

  • Codebreaking: Deciphering Halloween-themed codes.
  • Word puzzles: Using letters and numbers to unlock clues.

How It Works: This activity is designed to be versatile and adaptable to various classroom settings. It can be completed independently, used as a fast finisher activity, or done as a group project where students collaborate to solve the mystery together. It can also serve as a fun way to celebrate Halloween in the days leading up to the holiday.

Why Teachers Will Love It:

  • Engaging and Thematic: The Halloween theme adds excitement, while the structured puzzles ensure students are learning while having fun.
  • Critical Thinking: Students will develop problem-solving skills as they decode ciphers, solve puzzles, and analyze clues.
  • Flexible: The activity can be adjusted for different group sizes and skill levels, making it perfect for various classroom environments.

Perfect for Halloween: Whether you're looking for an educational yet festive way to celebrate Halloween or simply want a fun activity to break up the routine, The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is a fantastic choice. With its rich backstory, colorful characters, and challenging puzzles, your students will be thrilled to take on the role of detective and solve the Halloween mystery. Best of all, they'll be learning important skills along the way, all while keeping the Halloween spirit alive! Get your class ready for a spooky adventure, and help them save the Monster Halloween Bash by finding the culprit who stole the candy cauldron!
