Thanksgiving Turkey Solfege SMARTBoard Activity

Here is a fun November-Themed Thanksgiving Turkey Solfege SMARTBoard Activity

SMARTBoard Music Lesson:

The Thanksgiving Turkey Solfege SMARTBoard Activity  is an interactive activity using the solfa pitches: do – mi- sol – la. The purpose of the lesson is for children to hear a musical pattern and identify the correct ending pitch.

Hide from the Hunter!

Students touch the Hunter on each page to listen to a solfege melody. There are two different options for the final pitch and students move the Turkey to the correct pitch location. If they are correct, the Turkey disappears and hides from the Hunter. If they are incorrect, the Turkey bounces back to the ground… ugh!

SMARTBoard Notebook 11 Activity Builder Features

The Thanksgiving Turkey Solfege SMARTBoard Activity  uses the Activity Builder add-on feature in Notebook 11. The optional pitches on each page are built to either accept or reject the Turkey. I’ve only used the Activity Builder feature a couple of times in my lessons, and I’m finally getting the hang of it.

1:1 iPad- Ready

For those who have access to iPads in their music rooms,  I have included, on the last page of this file, a QR code linked to a downloadable Explain Everything Turkey Solfege file. Students simply scan the QR code > Download> Open in Explain Everything.  While one student is at the SMARTboard, I have the rest of my class working on their iPads to circle the correct final note.

This file, Thanksgiving Turkey Solfege SMARTBoard Activity, can now be purchased in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.
