What kids do

Printed on the sheet:

  1. Write the letter name under each note. What words do the notes spell?

Teacher tip

Once the words are solved, challenge kids to find more words that use only the letters A to G, like BAG, CAB, FEED and BADGE.

How to use it

  • Ask “line or space?” first, then “which one?” for every note.
  • Show that the treble clef curls around the G line.
  • Read the reminder box at the top of the sheet together, then do the first item as a class.

Watch for

Using the line saying for a space note. Decide line or space first.

Talk about it

  • What happens to the letter names as notes go up the staff?
  • What does this symbol tell a musician to do?

Take it further

Let kids invent their own saying for E G B D F.
