SMARTBoard Music Lesson: 18Â Activities for Young Children
This SMARTBoard music lesson file is filled with 18 different musical activities for younger children… a collection of SMARTBoard activities usable at different times. This collection is not meant to be an all-inclusive music lesson. It can best be used an interactive supplement to standard musical concepts for this age. Some of the pages can be used across multiple grade levels just by changing instructions. For example: PreK, K5 and 1st can take turns identifying and popping the Quarter note bubbles while 2nd and 3rd graders can race the clock to pop all of the bubbles.
SMARTBoard interactive Activities include:
- Listening for Forte and Piano sounds
- MadLips introduction to the Quarter Note
- Bubble popping of Quarter Notes
- Song: Head and Shoulders
- Movie of a live Woodpecker
- Rhythm Sticks: Woodpecker echoing activities
- Bear Beats and Bear Rests
- Catch the raindrop rests
- Explore the Clarinet
- Rhythm Instrument activities
- Song: Alphabet Song and Video
- Quarter and Eighth note egg beats
- Indian listening activity
- Listening for High and Low sounds
- Random food generator = 1 sound or 2
- Attached PDF of Food +Music game cards
and more
The latest SMARTboard  Notebook File can be downloaded here.
I repaired the “View Pure” links but included the original video links in case you have trouble. Flash files including the random image generator are no longer supported in Notebook 16, so I recreated the activities without the Flash widgets. This file uses the Activity Builder widget to provide feedback.

Thank you so much! I love your blog!
Thanks, I’m so glad it worked for you!
Thank you so much for sharing these files. I have a SMARTboard this year and love it. There are so many fabulous ways to use it in class.
Looking forward to using some of these in my classroom. Our music education was eliminated from our school many years ago. But with a SmartBoard, I can still integrate a little bit of music into my teaching. Thanks for sharing.
Great site! Thanks for sharing your IWB tools!
