A game that will keep your 4th and 5th graders entertained, engaged, and competitively charged, here's METER IMPOSTER inspired by "Among Us"!

_________________________

_IN METER IMPOSTER, YOU WILL SEE 2 OR EVEN 3 CREWMATES ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS WITH DIFFERENT METERS.

EACH CREWMATE HAS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF BEATS AND RHYTHMS THAT ADD UP TO THE DESIGNATED METER (4/4, 3/4, 2/4, ETC)_

_YOUR TASK IS TO DECIDE WHICH CREWMATE IS THE IMPOSTER BY SELECTING THE CREWMATE WHO IS SHOWING THE METER THAT HAS MORE THAN OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF BEATS IN THEIR METER

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE CREWMATE WHO IS THE IMPOSTER_

Included in this resource are

• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• 3 levels of meters with 2 and 3 imposters, along with a level where you can find the crewmate (and the rest of the meters shown are the imposters!)

Notation covered:

Quarter notes/rests, Half notes/Rests, Whole Notes, Eighth Notes/Rests

Have a terrific time with this while your kids study time signatures!

A game that will keep your 4th and 5th graders entertained, engaged, and competitively charged, here's AMONG INSTRUMENT FAMILIES inspired by "Among Us"!

_______________________

IN THIS FAST PACED GAME, STUDENTS WILL SEE SEVERAL CREWMATES WITH INSTRUMENTS IN A SPECIFIC FAMILY (WOODWIND, BRASS, STRING, OR PERCUSSION)

ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS BELONG IN THAT FAMILY, EXCEPT FOR ONE. THE STUDENTS' GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY WHICH CREWMATE IS HOLDING THE INSTRUMENT THAT IS NOT IN THE SPECIFIED FAMILY.

WE WILL CALL THAT CREWMATE THE **IMPOSTER!
**
Advance the slide and check your answer and go through the rounds!

Included in this resource are

• A printout where you can replicate and cut out cards (if you want the students to place on the floor or hold up to show which one was the imposter)
• 3 levels of difficulty (4 crewmates, 6 crewmates, and 9 crewmates)

Have a terrific time with this while your kids reinforce the instrument families (and which instrument don't belong in it) ;)

Working on the lines of the treble clef staff? Here's a fun way to have your students use their knowledge and solve a puzzle with Mystery Word! The Mystery Word package includes 50 challenging words and/or phrases that are spelled using the musical letters (A,B,C,D,E,F, and G) of the treble clef staff. Blank letter boxes are below the note on the staff for the students to fill in. Some words and phrases are easy, but some get pretty difficult! Included are three files: The teacher version, a PDF file with 50 pages in PDF format to use as a class activity. The student version, a PDF file you can print out with 25 pages, 2 puzzles to each page you can individual give to students. (If printed out and copied back-to-back, it only runs 13 pages per booklet) The answer key (just in case a substitute teacher needs it) ;) You can use this as a warmup to your lesson, or a lesson in itself -- it makes a great substitute teacher plan as well! It gets kids to critically think about the lines of the staff to fill in the blanks... my kids love it as it's fun and challenging. Would love to hear feedback how it's working in your classrooms. Any questions, you know where to find me. Have fun!
