Are you looking for a Halloween activity for your students that reinforces their treble clef note reading and playing skills? This activity is like a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt! Your pupils will be active and engaged as they search the classroom for ghosts and use them to complete their sheet music before practising it on their instruments.
This activity will suit a range of ages. It is fun without being babyish and can be easily completed in one lesson. The sheet music can be played on any treble clef instrument.
With minimal prep (printing and hiding the ghosts), you will have a fun Halloween lesson suitable for a range of music classes. The students will go on a treasure hunt, finding the ghosts, and writing the missing notes on their sheet music.
This is a great game for a little Halloween fun, and reinforces the theory and instrumental skills the students have been working on!
Full teacher instructions are included, answers, and a lead sheet with lyrics for the teacher.

Tell me more!
This lesson is planned and ready to go - all you have to do is print the sheets and hide the elves! Make it as easy or as difficult as you like. Students each get a worksheet which contains sheet music for We Wish You a Merry Christmas, but several bars are missing. They go on a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt to find the elves; each elf is holding a missing bar which the students copy onto their sheet. We love some theory reinforcement, even at Christmas! Once they have found all the elves, they will have the completed sheet music to play on their xylophone, keyboard, piano etc. Full sheet music with lyrics and chords is included if you want to lead a class performance from the piano.
I know it can be super busy as a music teacher leading up to the winter holidays.

This lesson plan is low-prep and can be used with multiple different age groups - print it once and use it for multiple classes! I’d suggest using from age 9-14 but check out the preview to judge for your own pupils.
I hope you and your students love this Christmas activity! Don’t forget to follow and leave a review!

I typically use this with my secondary pupils on the last week before the winter break.

It could also be left for a sub or cover teacher as it requires no specialist knowledge or teacher input.

What do I need?
Your students need a copy of their own part from the piece you are playing.
Tell me more!
The task is a 4-page printable worksheet (PDF) which pupils answer on blank paper (or laptop/computer). All 4 pages are greyscale for cheaper copying.
Your band/orchestra members will study their sheet music for a piece they are playing, and answer a series of questions designed to deepen their knowledge of the piece, understand its background, and improve their playing of their part. Students work alone, at their own pace, and independently of the teacher. These worksheets will take most students two lessons (assuming 50-60 minute lessons) but could be repeated for other pieces if you need it to last longer. An extension task is even included for fast finishers.
The 50+ questions are split into 8 headings such as “First Glance”, “Rhythm and Tempo” and “Ensemble playing”. You can customise the task by asking pupils to complete only certain sections, or use it as homework with one section to complete every week. Questions range from simple, one-word answers (such as naming the composer, key signature etc) to longer and more involved activities (such as notating a rhythm they find difficult and creating a word or phrase to match the rhythm).
We all have situations where we have to cancel a band practice or orchestra rehearsal and I am sure you your students to complete meaningful, enriching work which will actually improve their playing! Teacher absence, usual rehearsal space being unavailable, quiet rehearsals during exams, or a pupil who has opted out or cannot attend a practice but is still required to complete some work.
Anything else?
I have a set of 8 cover worksheets which are flexible and ideal for band, orchestra, choir, general music, music appreciation and more! Many educators like you have purchased these items together. Like this task, they require no prep, no instruments and no specialist teacher. Check them out here!

These written activities can be used with a range of classes and a non-specialist teacher.

The worksheets can be printed or assigned digitally, with students answering on blank paper/document so the printed sheets can be reused. Easy printing in grayscale and on A4 or letter size paper.
The reading comprehension passages have been carefully crafted for a 10-12 year old reading level. Care has been taken to use dyslexia-friendly font, font size 14+ and 1.5 line spacing to allow easy reading for all students.
The questions range from simple fact-finding to more reflective and thought-provoking - see the preview for more details.
The worksheets require no prior knowledge and no teacher input so they can be used with a wide range of classes and abilities, students can work independently with no technology requirements, and they are ideal to leave for a non-specialist substitute teacher.
I keep some printed in my classroom for emergency teacher absences. I have also used it during displaced classes when we have no access to instruments, as make-up work for students opting out of the curriculum or a concert, as homework, and to supplement a unit on Classical composers.
I hate when classical music resources only include white male composers, so the range of classical composers have been chosen to include female composers and better reflect your diverse classroom.
Each worksheet usually lasts a lesson but if you have more able or older students, or longer periods, you might want to use two per lesson, or add in a classroom game to fill up the end of the lesson!

Having two different difficulty versions of the game allows you to return to the activity later on in the year with the more difficult version, or to differentiate your lesson by having some students using each version depending on their ability.
Your students will be able to work independently as the answers are included in the game. It can be used with teams, as a whole class activity, or single players to fit your class requirements.
