SMART Notebook Music Lesson

Two PDFs are attached to this SMART file Halloween in the music classroom would not be complete without these two Pumpkin Musical Beat Activities for the SMARTBoard. Pumpkin Pull Musical Beat Activity: In “Pumpkin Pull,” students pull rhythm pieces from the right side to correctly fill up the 3 measures of pumpkin beats. For added fun, students can race the Ghost of 16 seconds or the Ghost of 25 seconds. The kids have to fill the beats before the music ends. My students absolutely LOVE this game and try hard to beat the musical clock. It’s a winner! Pumpkin Dice Musical Beat Activity In “Pumpkin Dice,” students roll the musical die and have to fill in a measure of pumpkin beats. If they can’t use the note value rolled, they must roll again. This activity can be played at the SMARTBoard and/or as a group activity.   Preparation for these SMARTBoard Pumpkin Musical Beat Activities: Preparation: There is a PDF of a musical die attached. Copy one per child and tape together. Yes, this takes time, but once you make them, you’ll always have them!!!! The children use a copy of the attached PDF of blank pumpkins + the die, and do the worksheet by themselves.   Perfect for October Musical Substitutes! This would be a great activity for a substitute teacher during October. I suggest you make two-sided copies and make extra… They come back for more. For the overachiever, limit their use of the whole note! You may access Pumpkin Musical Beat Activities for the SMARTBoard in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
