Mi Re Do and Half Note Combination Activity Sets


I've been working on mi re and do with my second graders melodically and half notes, rhythmically.  I decided to pull together some new sets for my second graders, and was inspired by some of the songs my 3rd grade recorder players are working on.

The first set I completed goes along with the song Down by the Station.  There is so much instruction available in this very little tune.



Included in this kit are:
1. Down by the Station Solfege Set: These slides will allow students to see Down by the Station notated pictorally, on a 5 line staff, and in G major.

2. Down by the Station Rhythm Identification Set: These slides will allow students to see the rhythm of the song written in pictures, with pictures and rhythms, and with text and rhythm notation.

3. Down by the Station Rhythm Dictation Worksheets: 2 worksheets allow students to dictate the rhythm of the song in 2 slightly different ways.

4. B Section Composition Word Chain Cards: These cards allow students to learn about Rondo form, while accomplishing the difficult standard of composing and arranging. Students will use the provided word chain cards to compose their own B section in groups. Directions for creating a whole piece performance as a class are provided.





After creating this set, I thought Merrily We Roll Along could be used in very similar ways, so I made the same type of set with a different song and theme.


Included in this set are 4 files:
1. Merrily We Roll Along Solfege Set: These slides will allow students to see Merrily We Roll Along notated pictorally, on a 5 line staff, and in G major.

2. Merrily We Roll Along Rhythm Identification Set: These slides will allow students to see the rhythm of the song written in pictures, with pictures and rhythms, and with text and rhythm notation.


3. Merrily We Roll Along Rhythm Dictation Worksheets: 2 worksheets allow students to dictate the rhythm of the song in 2 slightly different ways.

4. B Section Composition Word Chain Cards: These cards allow students to learn about Rondo form, while accomplishing the difficult standard of composing and arranging. Students will use the provided word chain cards to compose their own B section in groups. Directions for creating a whole piece performance as a class are provided.

  1. I love that clip art! Did the fist and boats come as a set?
