The Jolly Miller Rhythm and Melody Practice Activities and Flashcards

Are you looking for engaging activities to teach rhythms (anacrusis / pickup notes) and melody (low so)? The Jolly Miller is packed with fun activities for preparing and practicing pickup notes (external anacrusis / upbeat) and practicing melody. Tap the rhythmic icons to prepare kinesthetically. After presenting the notation, students can practice reading and writing the new rhythms.

Game directions are included - My students get a kick out of this game - they get very competitive trying to grab a rhythm stick and get a partner before the miller steals their partner! It's a riot!

This resource includes a steady beat chart to conduct your way through external anacrusis, plus a rhythmic icon sheet to continue to prepare kinesthetically.

Practice reading and writing melody (low so / low sol patterns) with the rhythms and on the music staff! Flashcards are included for small group stations, ordering, and individual assessment.

Included:

• Lyrics
• Beat conducting map (with pickup notes)
• Tap the rhythmic icons
• Present the sound
• Kings & Queens (solo assessment game)
• Rhythmic notation presentation
• Read the rhythm
• Write the rhythm (add the anacrusis)
• Read the melody (with rhythms)
• Read the melody (on the music staff)
• Write the melody (on the music staff)
• Write the melody - The Case of the Missing Melody game
• Flashcards
• Game Directions
• Step by step instructions

This resource can be used with ANY rhythmic counting system.
