Al Citron is a great song for getting your students hooked from the start with a fun and easy stone passing game.
I have loved this collection of songs for a very long time, but have always struggled to find ways to meaningfully engage my students in active, hands-on activities. Over the past several school years I have spent some time and been more intentional in finding and developing some lessons that truly engage my students and help them to remember the wonderfully fun pieces of music. If you would like the full 23 page pdf, send me an email - [email protected]. Happy listening!
Weevily Wheat is a great song and game to help students practice meter or steady beat in the elementary music classroom.

So, have you ever had an idea that just bugged you until you sat down and got it started? Well for the last couple of months it has been PUNCH CARDS. Sounds weird, huh? I have several decorative hole punches. One punches hearts, another music notes and another a little star. I've wanted to find a way to incorporate them into my workstations rotation and I think I've done just that! These are the Instrument Family Punch Cards. Around the edge are the names of instruments. Each card asks students to punch the name of all of the instruments in a specific family. What a fun way to do student assessment! My plan is to use the Instrument Family Punchers with 3rd graders. We do a BIG unit on instruments of the orchestra. This in combination with the instruments exit tickets will be a great way to do formative assessment. With fourth grade I do a general review of instruments and add some spelling games during line-up time or if we have a few minutes left at the end of a period. I think I'll try out the Punch Out the Mistakes set with them. They have to find the five misspelled instruments, write them with correct spellings on the back of the card and punch out the incorrect spellings. I've also created some cards to help students differentiate between words that describe dynamics and words that describe tempo. These are a little bit tricky for some students. I'm looking forward to seeing if a little extra time on the topic will improve their understanding. Take a look at those HERE. You can get these punch cards at my TpT store. I'll be adding them to my other stores later. I'll be creating some for note identification, pitch identification and rhythm identification. Can't wait to get started on these! Do you have any ideas for things we can punch in the music room? Pin this idea for later:

I have been using this wonderful book by Karma Wilson with my kindergarten and first grade students for almost a decade now and it is still one of my favorites! This is a great lesson for introducing and exploring the concepts of timbre / tone color, sound sources, instruments (and their names), sound effects, and communicating meaning and emotion through music / sound. *this post contains affiliate links* First of all, the book itself is wonderful. If you aren't familiar with it, please go check it out. Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman have also done several other books featuring the Bear as the main character (like "Bear Stays Up" and "Bear Feels Sick", plus many more), so I've had homeroom teachers use some of the other books for read-aloud's in their class after the students did the lesson with me. You can get the book on Amazon here: The story includes many different interesting sounds that are easy for younger students to identify, so this is a great way to introduce students to the idea of sound effects or soundscapes. In my lesson, I start off by reading the book and ask students to find the one sound that is repeated over and over. Usually they know what it is before I even read it (it's in the title and all!), and they say the repeated line, "but the bear snores on" with me throughout the story. Once we've read the story, I ask the students to remember other sounds they heard in the story. Then we go through each page of the book and identify all the sounds we can find. I put a sticky note next to each one they choose. Since I am usually doing this with multiple classes in a grade level at the same time, I use different colored sticky notes for each class. When I'm having them identify the sounds, I don't show them the page so they aren't swayed by the other class' opinions. It's always interesting to see what the students pick- some pick more abstract items like the sun peeking up, while others stick strictly to sounds that are identified in words in the story. Before the next class period, I write down the names of students on each sticky note (I usually just do a simple rotation through all of the names by seating chart). The whole class does the sound of the bear snoring together (which helps keep students engaged in between turns). In the second lesson, I have each student choose how they will make each of their sounds. If I know they have a good understanding of timbre and sound sources, I tell them they have to use one of each different sound source category (instruments, voice, body percussion, found sound/object). I make a small note to myself of what they choose on the same sticky notes (like "clap", "pencil on floor", or "guiro"). The next class period we make a video recording of our story. I read the story out loud and the students add their sound effects when I get to each of their parts. Bonus concept: when they do the snoring sound together, I have them keep snoring while my hand is open, then I do the circular conducting motion and close my hand to have them stop. The students love putting their story together, and I have consistently gotten positive and enthusiastic feedback from parents, homeroom teachers, and librarians too!
