Description

A Christmas Music Game Mini-Unit that is both engaging and curriculum-based – Enough no-prep lessons to fill your December music classes

What makes Christmas sound like Christmas? This set of lesson plans with culminating game focuses on how making specific choices (tone colour, melody, dynamics, etc) in music can evoke specific feelings, using music from popular holiday movies.

This mini-unit is written for middle school (upper elementary) grades and therefore it assumes that the students already have a working knowledge of timbre, melody, tempo, dynamics, and articulation. If your students are a little rusty on these terms, it serves as a great opportunity for some review.
