SMARTBoard Musical Listening Adventure: SQUILT 2

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!!

Cherie, What is svg? I’ve downloaded the SQUILT 2 lesson but when I ask it to open it’s giving me a box of files all ending with svg which my computer is not reading? What am I missing????

Thanks for always sharing!

IDK! If you will send me your email, I will send you the link to a Dropbox file from which you can download directly. For some reason, Notebook 11 is creating downloading issues… Once I give you the direct link to a shared folder, that seems to fix all issues with downloads. I’m waiting on the solution from SMART.
