Listening Activity

SQUILT 2 Here is a new SMARTBoard Musical listening adventure for elementary music students.   In this activity, SQUILT stands for  Super Qurazzy Un-Interrupted Listening Time   I can’t really say that this activity will be Quiet… I like to have fun and this activity is really a musical listening adventure. It is serious fun!       Starburst Links: Each star-burst is linked to a different listening activity. There are enough linked pages for a class of 20 and several pages have multiple choices, so it is possible to accommodate even more children that way.   Here are a few of the listening activities in this file: Listen for location music – Mexico Listen for meter of 3 Listen for meter of 4 Arrange examples in tempo order: Largo- Moderato – Presto Listen for music that matches food items Listen for music written during grandparent’s time vs popular tunes Listen and tell the story of the music – scary dream Listen and identify music for “date night” – orchestra Listen for music identifying commercials and TV shows Listen and move to musical styles Lesson flow: There are links to each page and back to the home page for seamless lesson flow. On most pages, there is a funny comment hidden in the choices. The kids love this and can’t wait to hit the jackpot!  This would be a great lesson for a music sub… if you dare miss the fun!!
