Print these cards on bright card stock, cut them out, laminate them and store them in plastic craft baggies. Here are some activities that Sean does with his classes using the treble note cards.

Music Memory Game
Use two sets of cards. Place them face down in a grid. Working in pairs, students take turns overturning two cards to see if they get a matching pair. Whether they match or not, they have to name the notes. If they get a matching pair, they take the cards and have another turn. Reinforces memory work too!

Instrument Player
Using a designated instrument (recorder, xylophone, Boomwhacker, etc), students randomly choose 3 cards and play them. You may have to limit the notes depending on the instrument.

Scale Writer
Organize the cards in sequence to make scales such as major or pentatonic. Also a great way to demonstrate modes. Print out cards with accidentals to have a fully chromatic set, allowing for more versatility. A good tool for assessment.

Melody Maker
Students can use cards to either create a short melody to then play, or to notate a melody which they have already created. Rhythmic values wouldn’t be represented, unless you print note cards with rhythmic values or use a separate rhythm card set to place alongside the note cards. Have multiple sets available and perhaps limit the choice of notes.

​Enjoy!

Jitter sticks to help settle busy bodies!

We call these "jitter sticks"! They are great to use when students are getting jittery or when they need a little pick me up! These would be great for classroom teachers to use too!

Simply type up various fun movements and adhere each one around a popsicle stick.
Put your sticks upside down in a small container. When you see a busy body getting the jitters, have a student choose a jitter stick for the class to do!
