This resource pack comprises 10 Word Search Puzzles based on 10 different musical themes, and they are designed for Years 7 to 9, but can also be used as revision for slightly older students. Each puzzle has 21 words to find, 20 of which are stated on the puzzle, and 1 of which has a riddle as a clue. The puzzles are flexible in how they can be used, but are primarily aimed at being the basis for cover lessons. As such, a 3500-word document, setting out 10 x 1-hour lesson plans for supply teachers is included with this pack. In each case, the word search is the starting point, and a variety of cover-appropriate suggested activities follow, along with detailed support to guide a cover teacher, who may have little or no specialist musical knowledge, through the lesson.
Specifically, the themes of the word searches (and lesson plans) are based on the following: famous composers; orchestral instruments; world instruments; Broadway musical characters; music styles and genres; basic foreign terms (tempos, dynamics, performance directions, etc); signs and symbols; elements and eras; Soul and Motown artists; describing music (terms relating to descriptions of melody, tonality, structure, etc). Furthermore, a clear and full set of answers are provided for the word searches themselves, so that students can self-mark and correct.
