Less than $5 Music Games

"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.

Focusing on the timbres of the Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, and Tuba? Try "Brass with Class" on and let your kids zero in on differentiation between each... and more!

In "Brass with Class!" will hear the brass instruments in all sorts of orders (immediately following each other's segment) and their goal is to put them in order they hear them. Students will get a brief review in the beginning by playing the examples of a Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, or Tuba.

After reviewing the timbres, go onto the game where the options will be shown at the top and blank spots at the bottom for the instruments to go. Students can either have printed cards with the instruments, write it in on the whiteboard, call it out, or however you wish! I like to do the printed cards on the floor so the students can line them up and I can assess from the top.

Included are

• Reprintable cards with a clip art of a Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, and Tuba on them
• 12 musical examples with synthetic brass instruments
• Easy, moderate, and difficult modes in the examples (2 instruments to 4 instruments)

Have some class -- Brass with Class!

Do your students need to make some connections with the names of notes on the grand staff? Connections as great as a Rainbow?

Check out our latest set of Rainbow Connection cards, the Grand Staff edition!

This grand staff edition includes 30 sets of cards going from Low C in the Bass Celf all the way up to High C in the Treble Clef! The set also includes both Middle C's in the Treble and the Bass Clef.

Each page, you will see four cards for two matching pairs. Every pair is a connecting rainbow with clouds on each side. One side of the cloud has the name of the note, and the right side of the cloud has the note on the staff.

All students have to do is match the note with it's proper name (or vise versa!)

Assembly is EASY. All you have to do is print, cut, and go! You can print on cardstock or even laminate cards for durability and longevity if you plan to use these over and over again.

If you find that you enjoy this resource, we highly encourage you to give us a rating and a review on the product as well! Your support of a small business is greatly appreciated!

Bring excitement to learning note names and piano key locations with Piano Bingo!

A fun, spring (and music!) inspired BINGO style activity. Students color in a box for each completed activity. Five in a row earns a "finish," but you can encourage your group to complete the whole page or as many as they would like. Who can get the most?

This would work well as a Spring Break take-home activity. Listening to classical pieces by composers are included as an activity box, as well as nature-related finds, outdoor fun, and sharing a song with someone.

Each sheet has the same basic layout with some variations. Print copies of the same "board" or pass out slightly different versions for everyone to mix it up.

► We know you'll love helping students create meaningful connections to classical music, so we are happy to share these free listening activities with you today!

Are you ready to introduce (or reintroduce-let’s face it, we all know they forget from year to year) your students to the captivating world of the Elements of Music? Then you’ll enjoy the Elements of Music Vocabulary Mystery Word Match Activity! This engaging lesson is designed to help students familiarize themselves with some essential music vocabulary associated with the elements of music in a fun and interactive way. We all know that students generally love games so they’ll enjoy the gamification of this activity. As they match vocabulary words with their definitions, they’ll discover some letters that they will need to unscramble to find a mystery word.

Activity Overview:

In this activity, students will match vocabulary words to their corresponding definitions related to the elements of music. Each correct match will reveal a letter, allowing students to unscramble and discover the mystery word. This interactive feature adds an extra layer of excitement and challenges to the vocabulary learning experience.

Included in this Activity:

With this activity you will get an interactive worksheet with some words related to the elements of music (e.g., Elements of Music, Duration, Pitch, Dynamics, Timbre, Texture/Harmony, Form and Tempo) and the corresponding definitions and explanations for each mystery word.

When students have completed and found the mystery word, you can provide them with a blank template and have them find additional words related to the elements of music and their corresponding definitions so that they can create their own. You can use this for earlier finishers, as an extension activity or to dig a little deeper for everyone into the elements of music.

Bring the fun of "Where's Waldo?" into music class with "Where's Notation?"!

Students will see squares with a single quarter note positioned on the treble clef staff (E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E, and F) and will be asked "Where's __?" (Where's C? Where's E? etc...).

Students will have to work to quickly find the letter on the board (either time limited, group vs group, individual vs individual, however you'd like it!)

As soon as they find it, illuminate the box by pressing the advance button on the slide!

Round 1 has 8 boxes
Round 2 has 10 boxes

Round 3 has 23 boxes (phew!)

Have a great time with this!

Hello Music Maestros!

Are you ready for a musical adventure for your students like no other? If so, gather your pitch-perfect pals and let's dive in!

Imagine an enchanting music academy where something extraordinary has happened. The Elements of Music have vanished! Without them, the musical universe is in chaos. But fear not, task your students with recovering these stolen Elements and restore harmony to the world of sound.

Have some fun in your music classroom today with an Elements of Music themed Escape Room! Everything is ready to go. Simply make a copy of the Google Form, send it to your students, and let the fun begin! Each question needs to be answered correctly until students move on to the next question. The elements of music that students will need to be familiar with are pitch, tempo, rondo, general dynamics, harmony, general note value names, and timbre. You can always change the questions if you need to!

I hope you and your students have a ball with this!

In Four Square, students will see 4 squares (A, B, C, and D) with a rhythm displayed inside the quarter and then listen to a short musical example of rhythm. The students will then have to decide which square best represents the rhythm heard.

You can elect to play it once, twice, or as many times as you need so your students get a good feel of the activity. After all the students have chosen their answer, advance the slide and reveal the answer (illuminated in green!)

When students get to the 12th example, they will be required to "re-order" the rhythms based on the square that they heard in order (A,B,C,D, D,C,A,B, C,A,D,B, etc)

You can have students write it down, play it team A vs team B, boys vs girls, or individually as an assessment, or even assign it as distance learning!

There are 19 examples with quarter notes, half notes, quarter rests, and eighth note pairs
