3rd Grade Arts & Music Games

Students love Day of the Dead. This resource lets students practice their artmaking skills while playing a Roll the Dice game to create a calavera. Simple instructions and game board are included along with multiple choices of blank calaveras for students to create their own unique sugar skull. With high student engagement, this multicultural resource is a great way to bring Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) into your classroom.

This resource includes a game board and instructions plus 2 blank game boards (dice numbers and all categories are included on 1, dice numbers and 2 categories with the rest of the categories blank on the other), multiple blank calaveras for students to use to create their calavera in the game plus so much more!

2 assessments - 1 for elements of art and 1 for principles of design are also included with a calavera so students can create a calavera using the elements or principles then describe their work for your assessment.

The game is perfect to leave as a sub lesson for grades 2-5 (or middle school). Laminate blank game boards and calaveras and let students design their own game using dry erase markers, then play the game they created, or simply print out paper copies. It can be used as an activity for students who finish another project early since it is self-directed and can be played by 1 or multiple students.

Multiple variations and suggestions are included. National Core Arts Standards and TEKS (for those teachers in Texas) are included for grades 2-5.

This is something even adults might like! But children of almost any age can color these, even older children and young adults, as I designed them with "adult coloring books" in mind, only far less abstract.

I've taken some of the most well-known memory verses from the Bible and created coloring pages. There are loads more verses in Proverbs and the Psalms, and endless others in all 66 books, but this is an inexpensive and familiar platform to begin with. I've used the NLT version, but if you want another version, I'll convert the provided verses at no extra cost.Just contact me.

This is included in my Christian Content Bundle!
