What kids do

Printed on the sheet:

  1. The space notes, from the bottom space up:
  2. The four spaces spell a word:
  3. Remember: the notes in the spaces spell FACE.
  4. Write the letter name of each space note.

Teacher tip

The spaces spell FACE from the bottom up. Have kids touch their own face and then point to the four spaces between their fingers.

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.
  • End by clapping, singing or playing something from the sheet, so the page turns back into music.

Watch for

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

Talk about it

  • Is that a line note or a space note?
  • How did you figure that out?
