Color the town in this activity! Primary coloring activity for matching numbers with basic colors. Also uses cut and paste skills and practice as students build their own town. Includes: 15 color by number town worksheets Directions for use Extra activities list Numbered Color Box List on Each Handout: red blue green yellow black white brown Town Handouts Included: Home School Bookstore Pets store Grocery store Clothes store Shoes store Office buildings Bank Diner Police station Fire Station Gas pump Car Truck 2 School busses Street signs: School crosswalk, Stop, Bicycle crossing Great for introducing, practicing, assessing primary colors and basic numbers! Can be used for pre and post tests on basic numbers and primary colors. Easy to use! Excellent for centers, homeschool, flipped classes, and homework assignments. Complete the activity by letting students paste colored images onto cardstock to become city planners and design their own town layout. Fun for early learners!

In this rhythmic identifying game (fastest one wins!), students will see a rhythm displayed on the board with a box (one beat or two beats) inside the rhythm. These boxes will be blank and can hold different types of beats to complete the rhythmic phrase

The students will then listen to an example of music and figure out which of the available boxes (with corresponding rhythms) would complete the rhythm shown on the screen! Simply click on the sound icon, have the students listen, and then advance the slide when they choose the correct answer.

There are 10 musical examples in this lesson and works great with some of the younger elementary students. They can either vocalize "1st" "2nd" or "3rd" box, come up to the screen and pick, or have a race to see who can select the correct box first.

Have a great time with this!

Looking for a fun, exciting, challenging, and engaging way to reach students in your upper elementary or lower middle school grades? Try this all-inclusive lesson that will get your kids racing against the clock and each other with The Great Escape!

In “THE GREAT ESCAPE”, students will be given a specific amount of time to perform tasks successfully (as designed by the teacher). Each one of these tasks is a musical task and the theme for this escape room are rhythms.

There are five rooms, and in each room are several "tasks" students will have to perform (either individually, as a class, A vs B, side by side, or however you wish). As soon as the task is completed, advance the slide for the correct answer (the teacher will control the game).

After a certain number of tasks, a key will be issued to exit the room and head into another room with a different set of tasks.

The five rooms and tasks are as follows:

• Room One: The Library (Perform the Rhythm shown)
• Room Two: The Kitchen (Identify Rhythm)
• Room Three: The Den (Perform the Rhythm BACKWARDS)
• Room Four: The Boiler Room (Identify Rhythmic Value)
• Room Five: The Lobby (Perform Polyrhythms (1-4 groups of class split)
• Room Five: The Lobby (Diagonal Rhythms and Shapes)

If students complete all tasks and open the door to all five rooms they win the game!

You can play this one of four ways

• Set a timer (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc). You can designate how long students should receive to complete the entire game
• Keep track of time to beat another class or grade level
• Keep track of time and try again during another class to name it faster
• Play it side vs side, boys vs girls, and see who can get to the end the fastest (or before time ends)

If you would like music to accompany this to make it a bit more engaging, try using this in the background:

Escape Room Background Music

Have a terrific time with this and let us know how it goes!

This bilingual resource is designed for assessment and has so many more uses in the Art room! Use it for traditional four corners assessment that incorporates movement and discussion (full instructions & examples are included), remind students of procedures & techniques, group students, in conjunction with teaching art history, or even as an assessment game (instructions included).

Four corners markers are 8.5" by 11" and have a number and color. The number and color are written in English, Spanish, and French. This resource is another way to add literacy in the Art room!

Each set of markers (1-4) has 7 artwork choices - 3 self-portraits plus 4 others by a diverse group of famous artists. If you still don't see your favorite artists, an editable PowerPoint file is included so you can create your own custom set of four corners markers.

The resource is huge - 28 pages of markers plus 4 editable markers, instructions, sample questions for assessment and review, and suggested game instructions! It includes everything you need to use four corners successfully in your room.

This resource contains 1 PDF file and 1 PowerPoint (editable) file.
