Halloween Music Manipulatives

This week for Monday Music Manipulatives I am sharing some Halloween themed manipulatives for the music room.

Halloween Music Manipulatives - These manipulatives are perfect for elementary music class around Halloween! Practice steady beat, rhythm, and solfege reading and writing. - Kodaly Inspired Classroom

1) Halloween Themed Erasers

You can use these Halloween themed erasers to show how many sounds on a beat by placing them on beat charts, or for melodic writing and dictating on individual staff pages. I have a class set of staff pages like these below that are laminated and having different erasers keeps it fresh and fun for the kiddos. 

I picked up some of these erasers over the years, usually from the Target dollar section.

These kitty cat heads are perfect for Naughty Kitty Cat:

The ghost ones are fun for Skin and Bones, Ghost of Tom, or using to show the rhythms of Miss White.


2) Halloween themed table scatter

I found this pumpkin table scatter one year at Target and it is great for melodic dictation and writing (like with the erasers above), or to show the rhythms on top of beat charts.


3) Foam Halloween Shapes

You can write rhythms, rhythm patterns, solfege, etc. on these! Scatter them around and have students see if they can figure out the song. 



You can also have them compose their own pumpkin patterns using these. You could easily pair it with these Pumpkin Composition Pages.


4) Rhythm Blocks

Use these rhythm blocks to show the patterns from Halloween songs. You can find these pre-made rhythm blocks in lots of colors here. Read more about them in this blog post.

  2. You may think about whether I am discussing changes identified with the Internet, PCs or music programming. Be that as it may, this change has nothing to do with innovation. It needs to do with the requirements and longings of today's music understudy, which are completely unique in relation to the necessities that our music instruction framework was intended to fulfill. http://punjabimp3free.com/videos/iphone-vaarta-ravinder-grewal-kamaldeep-mp3/

  5. Spooky ghosts are my favorite! In addition, rhythm blocks are awesome, think I’ll buy some. Especially after your Monday Music Manipulatives about it. I’ll be a student of musical school this Autumn. I hope that these devices will help me to have less stress because of that. I’m very nervous about it, I dreamed about it all my life. Also want to share with you - Rush essay coupon, maybe it will be helpful for you, as this post for me.

  6. Thank you for this idea! I believe that this is very important to introduce diversity into boring educational routine. Hope that all teachers will understand this and will learn how to do this for their students. You can find a lot of trial programs at FlashEssay.com and choose the right one for you.
