50+ MUSICAL ACTIVITIES to do at HOME

LOWER AND UPPER ELEMENTARY:

❖ Listen to a favorite song.

❖ Listen to a song that you’ve never heard before.

❖ Listen to a song and talk about the mood. How does it make you

feel?

❖ Draw a picture of your favorite song. Use color to reflect the

mood. Or, draw a picture of your favorite musician.

❖ Log the places you hear music (for older students make a graph to

illustrate this).

❖ Make up your own words to a song you already know.

❖ Make up a different tune to the lyrics (words) you already know.

❖ Create a chant about something you love to eat or do.

❖ Build an instrument from things around the house. For older

students discuss if it’s a percussion, wind, or stringed instrument.

What other instruments are played the same way?

❖ Read a picture book based on a song.

❖ Create a picture book based on a song.

❖ Use a favorite picture book to create a mini opera. Everything is

sung! Raid the costume box/closet at home (with the permission

of your grown-up) and perform it for your family or for an

audience of stuffies.

❖ Sing to your pet.

❖ Have a grown-up clap a pattern of long sounds, short sounds

and/or rests, and then echo the pattern. Older siblings can lead

younger siblings in this.

❖ Listen to two songs and compare. Which one is loud/soft, uses

long/short notes, etc.? What instruments do you hear?

❖ Listen for sounds in the environment (airplanes, car motors, etc.).

Again, older students could create a graph of what they hear.

❖ Have a grown-up sing high and low notes and then see if you can

echo.

❖ Watch a musical with your family.

❖ Listen for music in a movie or commercial. How is the music

used? How does it set a mood?

❖ Sing a song that you learned in music class for your family.

❖ Create a kitchen band as a family (pots, pans, egg beaters, yogurt

containers, etc.).

❖ Create a musical note to a family member. Make a card in the

shape of a musical note and write a personal note.

❖ Keep the beat to a song by clapping, tapping, marching, snapping,

etc.

❖ Put on music and walk to the beat pretending you are an animal

(elephant, chicken, giraffe, cat, etc.).

❖ Exercise with music on (jumping jacks, sit-ups, etc.).

❖ Dance with scarves or scraps of material.

❖ Plan a step routine with a sibling, including stomps, steps, claps,

etc.

❖ For older students, create an imaginary product and a song to sell

your product. Use a tune you already know.

❖ If you have a keyboard at home – look for patterns of black and

white keys.

❖ Fill glasses with water at different levels and play a tune.

pattern? Can you clap or tap this?

relative that is social distancing. It will make his or her day.

❖ Listen to bird calls. Which ones make high sounds? Which ones

are lower?

❖ Practice your instrument or piano if you are taking band or

orchestra, or piano lessons. Practice your recorder if you took it

home.

❖ For older students, research a composer. When did they live?

What did they write? Can you find an interesting fact about this

person?

❖ Research a musical style. Where did the blues come from? Where

did rock and roll come from?

❖ Blow across the top of a water bottle, research why this makes a

sound.

❖ Research how the ear works. How do we hear? How can we listen

to music properly?

❖ Research the properties of sound.

❖ Create a musical game. For example: one person comes up with a

topic, next person then sings a song about that topic. If they are

successful, that person then creates the next topic.

❖ Research musical games from other countries and play the game

with your family.

❖ Create a poster of all the ways music is used (celebrations,

commercials, movies, etc.).

❖ Practice writing musical notes and rests. Explain these to a grown-

up in your house.

❖ Create lyrics to a song about the U.S.A., your town, country or

school. Or create lyrics about your favorite place.

❖ Sing to a younger sibling at night.

❖ For those that have crafty grown-ups – make a quilt with squares

that reflect the families’ favorite songs. On each fabric square

draw a picture or write the name of a song. Have your grown-up

stitch it together, and you will have a gift for a loved one.

missed!

The log contains at least some of the following criteria: Date of activity, location of activity, length of participation, perceived exertion level, warm-up/cool-down activity, and a space for a weekly reflection on how they are feeling about their participation. Students participate in self-selected activities at least 5 times in a 7-day period. Their participation in class counts toward the achievement of the 5 times a week goal. The assessment of the log can be a simple checklist (yes or no) stating that the log was submitted and all parts were completed. If the activities they have selected are inappropriate or data provided in the log seem suspect, you should provide feedback specific to the log. An example of a general rubric is provided below:

Quality of Log Items1 = Log is incomplete with missing data and few or no details provided. Selected activities do not align with fitness goals.

2 = Log is complete, but limited detail is provided. No supporting documentation to support per-ceived exertion score (step count, heart rate monitor, Fitbit, weight and number of repetitions, etc.).

3 = Log is complete with specific detail and supporting documentation on perceived exertion (step count, heart rate monitor, Fitbit, weight and number of repetitions, etc.).

If you require a weekly or biweekly reflection, you should provide feedback and encouragement based on students’ reflection. For specific details on assessing reflections, see Standard 4. You could also use a rating scale from 1-3 that makes some determination on the quality of the log and reflection. An example is provided below:

Quality of Reflection1 = Reflection only describes the activity without a personal response to the experience. Does not make connection to participation and personal health and wellness.

2 = Reflection describes the activity and includes some general comments on personal response to the experience. Indirect connections made to personal health and wellness.

3 = Reflection describes the activity, includes detailed and insightful statements on personal re-sponse to the experience. Direct connections made to personal health and wellness.

A sample of a participation log is provided here including a category specific to metrics used to document time and/or intensity. This could be such things as step counts, heart rate, Fitbit data, number of laps with times, and number of repetitions with weight. Students identify the metric they are going to use during the planning stage.

In addition, students reflect on their week of activity at the bottom of the form. Each week you provide a writing prompt they reference in their reflection or students simply follow guidelines you have established for reflections as part of the unit. A sample rubric for a participation log with a reflection is provided after the sample log.

The following example is for three days, but the form would continue through a seven-day cycle.

Vocabulary Practice Choice Board

Work through the Choice Board picking different vocabulary practices ideas!

Draw a picture and hide 6 of the words in the picture. The chosen words must be

placed in a picture associated to the definition.

Example: The word mysterious written around the brim of a magician’s

hat.

Write a free verse poem or song using 7 of your vocabulary words, showing you know the meanings of the words. Be

creative! Think with emotion! Use humor!

Make 6 “Mr. Stick” drawings with dialogue bubbles or captions. The bubble or

caption must correctly use the word. Put details in your

drawing so it is clear how your pictures relate to your words.

Create an illustrated dictionary for all 10 of your vocabulary

words. Each entry should have the definition and an

accompanying picture

Write 5 Haikus (3 lines that follow 5, 7, 5 syllables in each line) for 5 different vocabulary words that

show you know the words’ meanings. Example:

“Dreary” Dark, sad, a tad blue A little puppy sat still

Rain pattered its fur

Write dialogue between two people using the 10 vocabulary words. Make sure you include a dialogue tag (try to use words other than said) and punctuate

the sentence correctly. Remember that each time a

new person speaks, it is a new paragraph and must be

indented. Example: “Put your coat on,” reminded Mom. “I

don’t think it is too frigid out,” Joe replied.

Create specific descriptions of 7 different characters whose

last names are your vocabulary words. List each person’s personality, job, and

appearance that have something to do with the

word’s meaning. Example: Mr. Stingy Personality – He does

not like to spend money. Job – Accountant Appearance – All of his pants have zippers to

keep his money safe.

Write 2 declarative (.), 2 interrogative (?), 2 imperative (a command), and 2 exclamatory

(!) sentences with different vocabulary words. Your

sentences should give enough clues about the word so that

someone could guess the word’s meaning using your context

clues.

Create 6 math word problems using 8 of your

vocabulary words. Example: Brett drove

nonstop for two hours. The roadways were

congested. He traveled 40 miles. How many miles did

Brett drive in one hour?

You are on vacation! Write a letter to your friend. Use at least 8 of your vocabulary

words as you describe your trip. Remember to say where you

are and include the date, greeting (i.e. Dear…), and

closing (i.e. Your friend, …).

Relate 7 of your vocabulary words to real issues in society

today or from the past. Example: One reason why

recycling is critical is because our landfills are teeming with

garbage.

Write an ad for your favorite food, car, toy, or restaurant using 6 of your vocabulary

words. The ad should have headline or slogan, picture, and 5 – 8 sentences explaining the benefits of the product. Make it neat and colorful. Be creative -

have fun!

Write a short story (3 – 5 paragraphs) with 8 of your vocabulary words. Have

fun and be creative! Include an opening,

problem/solution, closing, and illustration.

Write definitions in your own words for each of the 10

vocabulary words. Make sure that your definitions are clear

and easy to understand.

You came up with a great idea for a movie! Write a summary

of it using all 10 of the vocabulary words. Be sure to

mention the characters, setting, problem, and solution.

Make a crossword puzzle out of your 10 vocabulary words. Make sure you number the

boxes and make across and down clues for each one.

Compare and Contrast the word

Example: Apple is red like a rose but bigger and you

can eat it.

Categorize your vocab into list of 6-10 words. Examples: Color

List, Food List, Activities list, things you like, things in your

house

Build 6 Frayer Cards (see example on the next page)

Teach someone in your family 5 new vocab words a day.

Frayer Cards

Build a great resource of Frayer Cards by doing 6 a day!

1. Pick a vocabulary word

2. On a notecard, digitally, sheets of paper, in your notebook (so many ways!) create the Frayer Card and fill it

out using the vocabulary word you picked.

3. Consider this similar to when you circumlocute a word, which is, describing a word without saying the actual

name of the word. Similar to Pictionary.

Vocab Word:

In a sentence: Draw it:

Describe it (How use it, when, why,

what does it look like, where is it…)
