Write the Room | Music Activity - Do, Mi, So, La - FM - Treble Clef

Looking for a fun and simple way to get your students moving while practicing melodies? This Write the Room Melody Activity is the perfect addition to any elementary music class. Designed to make melody practice engaging and interactive, this activity encourages students to reinforce their musical skills while staying active. Whether used as a lively center activity or a whole-class exercise, it will keep your students excited about learning music. With a Big Kids-themed set of melody cards, this activity is especially ideal for getting the wiggles any time of the school year.

The setup is straightforward, and your students will love the challenge. Hide the melody cards around the room and provide each student with a recording sheet. As they search for the cards, they will write the melody patterns they find on their sheets. This activity is flexible to fit your schedule, allowing you to include either five or ten questions based on the time available and your students’ needs.

I suggest using it with grades 3 - 5.
