Easter Music Puzzles Key Stage 3

This is a whole lot of Easter fun for your music students! Depending upon ability and age group, there is enough in this pack to keep students occupied and engaged for 1 or 2 whole 1-hour lessons – and if you make the most of all the extension ideas, you could run it for a whole day! It’s aimed at Years 7 to 9, but it can work with any students who have a basic grasp of music notation and theory. I’ve also used it as fun KS4 revision… and they loved it!

Like all resources in my ‘Saving’ series, this project comes in 7 parts, each of which is titled with its own Easter-related pun: Plan Bee; Eggs Marks the Spot; Bun-gling Bunnies; Up to more Chicks; Boutique Bed-Lamb; Bad Tempo’d Bunnies; and Frog-otten Combination. Students will need to solve 6 puzzles in each of the 7 parts in order to save the Egg Hunt, the Parade, the Race, and a variety of food and accessories from buns to bonnets – and ultimately to ‘Save Easter’ from an array of cute springtime creatures who’ve been causing mischief!

It’s a whole lot of fun and students love it – and with full answers, basic teaching guidance and extension ideas provided, I hope you’ll love it too! In the process of completing these activities, students get to use their skills in, and knowledge of, treble and bass staff notation, note durations, scales, chords, basic intervals and tempos – PLUS there are elements of numeracy and literacy for some great cross-curricular learning.

I am extremely proud of all my resources and I endeavour to publish work of only the highest quality for you. I greatly value feedback, suggestions, and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers around the world, and I invite you to contact me by email at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com should you wish to ask me anything about my work. Many thanks for considering this resource.
