Less than $5 5th Grade Music Printables (by price, high to low)

In a fast-paced game geared up to get your upper level elementary school students excited, we present to you "Write the Room - EMOJI Edition!"

The game is simple as ever. Scattered around your music room are 12 rhythms (which you can cut out and affix anywhere you'd like) with a corresponding emoji attached to the rhythm.

You will make teams (or play individually!) and a pair of students from each team.

You will then play a sound clip for all of the students to hear. Their job is to listen to the clip, think of the rhythm in their head, and race around the room to find the emoji with the rhythm that they just heard!

The students race back to the board and presses on the emoji they think they heard (there will be a multiple choice of three rhythms, which one of them is the correct on). You will advance the slide and the correct emoji rhythm will turn green.

Play this through 12 rounds and keep score of which team wins or you can do it as an individual assessment. The kids LOVE this as they are assessing themselves by listening to the rhythm, remembering it, and identifying it somewhere in the room.

Have a great time with this one!

This is a curriculum I use in grades 3, 4, and 5. We have a full set of violins at our school and we learn notation, rhythms, and notes through an original curriculum called "Lightning Violin". The students all learn the songs together and then an individual student plays the song by themselves for assessment. If they play it correctly, I give them a "bolt" on their chart. It gets very competitive and the students really respond well and practice as hard as they can to get their next bolt. You can make a powerpoint chart or a physical chart and draw a bolt or create one in powerpoint. Included with this are the mp3 files accompaniment files that go along with the powerpoint. Please email me after purchase and I will send you the mp3 files! jasonlitt@gmail.com Enjoy!

A game that will keep your 4th and 5th graders entertained, engaged, and competitively charged, here's METER IMPOSTER inspired by "Among Us"!

_________________________

_IN METER IMPOSTER, YOU WILL SEE 2 OR EVEN 3 CREWMATES ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS WITH DIFFERENT METERS.

EACH CREWMATE HAS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF BEATS AND RHYTHMS THAT ADD UP TO THE DESIGNATED METER (4/4, 3/4, 2/4, ETC)_

_YOUR TASK IS TO DECIDE WHICH CREWMATE IS THE IMPOSTER BY SELECTING THE CREWMATE WHO IS SHOWING THE METER THAT HAS MORE THAN OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF BEATS IN THEIR METER

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE CREWMATE WHO IS THE IMPOSTER_

Included in this resource are

• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• 3 levels of meters with 2 and 3 imposters, along with a level where you can find the crewmate (and the rest of the meters shown are the imposters!)

Notation covered:

Quarter notes/rests, Half notes/Rests, Whole Notes, Eighth Notes/Rests

Have a terrific time with this while your kids study time signatures!

A brand new follow up to the Rainbow Recorder series This version of Rainbow Recorder focuses on 9 original compositions that your new (and even advanced) recorder students will love. We bring it back to the beginning and learn how to connect the lines and spaces on the staff to note names and have students begin to memorize the notes, rather than the letters. We gradually scaffold into more difficult music by adding on new notes and rhythms. Included, you will receive a 9 page PDF file (reproducable for your students or as a teacher guide) and 9 accompaniment tracks for each "belt". Your students are GUARANTEED to love these with lots of original rock and hip hop background tracks (you would never know how cool playing a whole bunch of A's and B's are until you play along to this!) ;) An alternate version with the note names are available, please contact me at jasonlitt@gmail.com if you'd like that as an alternate. As always, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions and enjoy!

A game that will keep your 4th and 5th graders entertained, engaged, and competitively charged, here's AMONG INSTRUMENT FAMILIES inspired by "Among Us"!

_______________________

IN THIS FAST PACED GAME, STUDENTS WILL SEE SEVERAL CREWMATES WITH INSTRUMENTS IN A SPECIFIC FAMILY (WOODWIND, BRASS, STRING, OR PERCUSSION)

ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS BELONG IN THAT FAMILY, EXCEPT FOR ONE. THE STUDENTS' GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY WHICH CREWMATE IS HOLDING THE INSTRUMENT THAT IS NOT IN THE SPECIFIED FAMILY.

WE WILL CALL THAT CREWMATE THE **IMPOSTER!
**
Advance the slide and check your answer and go through the rounds!

Included in this resource are

• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• 3 levels of difficulty (4 crewmates, 6 crewmates, and 9 crewmates)

Have a terrific time with this while your kids reinforce the instrument families (and which instrument don't belong in it) ;)

The purpose of Rhythm War is to learn, understand, and identify rhythms upon seeing them!

Everyone will receive approximately 10 rhythm cards (printed and cut by the teacher, all rhythms included in separate quarter note, half note, whole note, fermata, and whole rest PDF documents!). Students will be then put into groups of 3, 4, or 5, scattered throughout the room around hula hoops.

Each student will sit around the hula hoop and the inside of the hula hoop will be the “playing area”. Students will count down “1-2-HIT!” and the students will take the top card from their stack of cards and put it in the middle ring.

Just like the game “WAR”, whoever has the HIGHEST NOTE VALUE, gets to collect everyone’s cards…

The students who run out of cards is out, and the students at the end who have the most win rhythm war

In this listening game, students will listen to 11 short musical and hear different articulations that are covered briefly on the second slide of the presentation.

After a brief explanation and illustration of 4 examples (staccato, legato, accent, and slur), students will listen to the audio and have a multiple choice select of rhythms with assigned articulations.

Students will then choose the answer that best fits the audio example and advance the slide to reveal the answer, illuminated in green!

You can play this a number of ways: Individually, as a class team vs team (whoever choose the correct answer first), or assign it as a distance learning challenge and have the students select their answer and keep track of their score.

The teacher can always play the audio example multiple times just in case the kids need to listen again :)

Have a great time with this!

In SOLFEGE BATTLE ROYALE, students will receive a deck of random solfege syllables which they will turn face down and keep them to themselves.

• (The way I do this is to take 50 random cards in a baggie and have one student be the "leader" and hand out 10-15 cards per student)

Students may receive two of the same card, three of the same card, or even no particular solfege card during the game. (You will decide whether students get 10, 15, 20, etc... the more cards the students get, the more opportunities they have to play... and win!!!)

Students (up to 5 players) may sit in a circle or around a hula hoop and count down from 3… They will say "3...2...1... BATTLE!"

As soon as they hit the word “BATTLE!”, just like the card game "WAR" every student in the circle throws their top card down into the circle

• The students will look around and identify which syllable is the highest in the series. As we’ve learned, the syllables go ascending (up) from the following syllables…

• Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti

• Once the students identify the highest syllable, the student with the highest syllable is declared the winner of that battle!

• The student gets to take all of the cards from the other students and repeat again

Then they keep it going and going and going! Then the students play a new round until time is up and whoever is left with the most solfege cards at the end of the game is the winner!

All you need are:

• about 12 printouts of Solfege Cards cut (lamination optional)
• 5 or 6 hula hoops for the kids to sit around (if you don't have these, they can sit in a circle)
• some fun background music (optional!)
• and run the powerpoint

You're there to just facilitate :) Have a great time with this, kids LOVE it!

As students listen to sacred classical music carefully chosen for their thematic connection to Christian concepts, they can forge deeper personal connections to their Bible-based beliefs.

The beauty and complexity of sacred classical music prompts students to slow down, reflect on the lyrics and themes, and contemplate the deeper meaning of their faith. This introspective music appreciation can lead to new insights and a more nuanced understanding. Great for homeschoolers, Sunday school, and faith-based teaching applications!
