What kids do
Printed on the sheet:
- A whole note is an empty oval. Some letters have two places on the staff, so each box tells you to use a line or a space.
- Draw a whole note for each letter.
Teacher tip
Show how to draw a whole note as a small oval tipped a little to one side. For a line note the line cuts it in half, and for a space note it just touches the lines above and below.
How to use it
- Teach the lines and the spaces on different days before you mix them.
- Say the saying while you point up the staff from the bottom.
- Make the sound first. Clap, sing or play the idea before kids see it on paper.
Watch for
Counting from the top line. Start at the bottom every time.
Talk about it
- Is that a line note or a space note?
- How did you figure that out?
Take it further
Play each note on a xylophone, keyboard or recorder after naming it.
