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!

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

A background percussion track has been included, but do not be hesitant to include your own (or use classroom instruments!) Enjoy these arrangements, Boomwhacker enthusiasts!

Do you have students who LOVE to compose, or do you LOVE to teach composing? Well, do we have the resource for you!

HEART SONGS is a set of composing worksheets where students fill in note names into the noteheads of Quarter Notes and Eighth Notes, and the note heads are hearts you can use for the Valentine’s Day season.

In total, there are 46 different pages you can print off and use with your students in classes and lessons. Included are 11 4-beat pages in landscape orientation, and 35 8-beat pages in portrait orientation. There are a good mix of quarter-note and eighth-note combinations throughout the resource.

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!
