Halloween Lesson Ideas for Upper Elementary Music

Spooky Scary Skeletons

This glow stick routine is so much fun! I found its cheapest to buy glow sticks in bulk from amazon. You can get 100 for 11.99! Another thing to keep in mind with the glow sticks is how long they will glow. I would suggest picking grade levels that have music at closer times, like your morning classes or afternoon. The glow can last for few hours and then after that it is a little weak.

Escape Room

My students LOVED this escape room from Aileen Miracle! I think that the excitement of escaping and the time limit makes practicing any musical concepts a blast!

O Fortuna Boomwhackers

I found this recorder play – along from Nerea Seijoso and thought it would go perfectly with boomwhackers too!

I just added some practice slides and a decoding image for the solfege to boomwhacker color and we were in business! Download a copy here.

Run Boy Run

This song is fun because it sounds a little spooky for this time a year and is perfect to set with drums! I found two play alongs for this one. One for hand drums and another for bucket drumming!

I believe general music curriculum needs to be modernized to truly connect with students living in a very modern world! Thanks for stopping by! Read More
