Description
These fun, easy-to-use printable Nutcracker music worksheets are fun for all ages – kindergarten through grade 6. This is a stress-free way to study the Nutcracker ballet in elementary music or homeschool. Kids will be entertained, and thoughtfully listening through the whole ballet, while happily coloring, drawing, and reflecting on the music!
Three different options for each worksheet are included to allow you to use this set of printable Nutcracker music activities across multiple ages.
Kids love listening glyphs! Listening glyphs ask children to color parts of the picture according to what they hear. For example, if they hear fast music they might be asked to color the Nutcracker’s coat blue, but if they hear slow music they might color it red instead.
