The follow-up to "Rhythm Wind Up and PITCH!"
______________________________________

This one will get the kids on their edge of their seats!

You will need 1 thing for this particular game:

• A sticky suction cup ball (or maybe a soft squishy ball)

The students will see a melody at the bottom of their screen and memorize the melodic direction or say it back in their head (just make sure the melodic is not sung out loud). They will then hear a musical example of an endless loop of melodic figures separated by 4 beats each in between rhythms. (Teacher will click the speaker icon to play)

Take a listen...

....

....

One of the melodic figures will be the melody that is on the screen. AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THAT MELODY, they throw their suction cup ball at the target. The first kid who gets it correct is the winner (and make sure you advance the slide to make the target turn green) :)

Obviously, we cannot play this as a class because of

1. The amount of suction cup balls tossed at the screen would be insane

2. Team A v Team B would be a bit more competitive and only two balls would be launched at once

If you don't have a whiteboard/projection screen, you can alternatively have the students raise their hand when they hear it and choose the kid who has their hand up the fastest.

Have a great time with this fast paced game!

SET 7: Two Measure cards in 4/4 time using Eighth Notes, and Quarter Rests.

These flashcards are a great compliment to your resource library! Each set is 1 to 2 measures of a vast variety of rhythms to build sight reading, fluency, and rhythmic skills in the music classroom. The flashcards can be used in both the classroom and private studio setting. They are small enough for you to slip into a binder, or envelop if you are a traveling teacher! You can also slip these under a document camera, or stick them on a music stand for rapid fire reading with your kiddos!

For optimal durability, I recommend printing on heavier paper, cutting each section out, and laminating the cards. Binding is up to you, but you can hole punch and put them on binder rings, or have each set coil bound.

Practice and review the mi-re-do pattern using this fun lullaby to go along with the book, Dream Snow by Eric Carle. Have students sing or chant the lyrics, then add in Orff instruments and triangles! Use with grades PreK-2.

In "Zimbab all the Wae", introduce your kids to some great music from indigenous instruments from Africa! Using your classroom Djembe or Tubanos (along with tambourines), learn the music by rote by taking it one rehearsal section at a time (with rehearsal markings [A], [B], [C], and so forth). This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands and adding different timbres in with the tambourine

Included is the key for tubano and tambourine notation

At the end, wrap it up and put on a show! Want to layer it?

• Have shakers play 16th notes all the way throughout or in specific sections
• Have half the class play 1st and 3rd measures, the other half play 2nd and 4th measures
• Do it in a round! :)

Use this in class, a concert, a parent showcase, admin, faculty and staff, whatever you wish!

Have a terrific time with this one :)

Need a fun extension activity for this book? This chant, which should be whispered, adds another layer of engagement rather than simply listening to the story. Chant quietly along, and use it to teach whisper voice. Use with grades PreK-1st grade.

Oh, the kids and this game. Well, might as well learn something? I cut out construction paper squares of the following colors: Purple, Blue, Yellow, Grey, Red, Orange, and Pink A FORTNITE character (or characters) are shown on the screen along with different rhythms in different colored boxes. Which colored box of rhythms goes with the character on the screen? Line up the syllables and find out! I mix it up by putting students into teams of 2 and letting them work through the activity or you can have them play individually by themselves. Or maybe even a race to the board to see which one is right (all you have to do is advance the slide and the answer will appear!) There are 9 different examples of rhythms. The kids will LOVE seeing Fortnite up in your room (and don't worry, this is ALL family friendly, no mentions of violence or weapons in here) :) HAVE FUN!

Give your students a reason to fall for their 5-finger scales this Autumn with these NO PREP 5-finger scale identification worksheets: FALLING LEAVES!

Students will draw a line from the first note of the scale to the last note of the scale, then color in the leaves different fall colors such as red, orange, yellow, and brown!

Teach your students to identify and listen for the quarter rest with the chant written specifically for this book! Chant at specific points in the book when the bear keeps snoring despite all the activity around the animal. Decode the chant afterwards and ask your students what the "shh" represents. Use the decoding worksheet with the older grades (1st-2nd) to reinforce quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rest. Use a bear puppet that children can chant to for more engagement. Adaptable for grades PreK-2nd grade.

Down, Set, HUT!

In Bar Line Blitz, student will see a meter with several beats of music – except the bar lines are missing to separate the measures from each other!

They will will see 2 or more line placeholders (small grey lines) in between notes. One of the placeholders is where the bar line should go… but which one is it?

Identify where the bar line should be placed and the correct area will illuminate
green if it is accurate!

Play team vs team, A vs B, or individually... and enhance it by playing some fun football music in the background (search NFL themes or college football fight songs on YouTube) ;)

There are 4 levels (4 quarters if you wish) of varying difficulties. The last quarter, they students will need to identify where it should be placed without any small grey lined hashmarks

Have a great time with this one!

Introduce sixteenth notes to your students one of Judith Viorst's classic books! If you are looking for a fun chant to go with this book which will introduce sixteenth notes, look no further! Learn the chant and then have your students speak it every time Alexander says he will not be moving. Use the accompanying worksheet to decode for sixteenth note rhythms. While you are reviewing sixteenth notes, review rests as well, by asking students why there are boxes over the punctuation marks. Great for late 2nd-3rd grade.
