Shamrock Note Crossword Puzzle
Click here for to purchase the shamrock bundle.
So a while back, I got the great idea of making a crossword puzzle using words from the music alphabet. After all, I have a full set of music word flash cards and a lot of St. Patrick’s Day illustrations I’ve already made. It would be fun, I thought! So in the time I could have lost 10 pounds in the gym, I made this.
I showed it to my student. “Mrs. Paradis”, my student kindly said, “I think you’ve done something wrong here.” One of the things with being a nice piano teacher is that the students are usually so kind and helpful. Not only had I spelled a word wrong, but I had the numbers wrong, too. Otherwise, he thought it was fun because he said he like word puzzles.
So I went back to the drawing board thinking how I could spell a three-letter word wrong. But then, spelling is not my best talent.
I made this crossword for older students. Using notes for words can be a little tricky for little ones. But for those of you who want something a little more challenging for the week of St. Patrick’s Day, you can try this.
Don’t forget you can save ink by putting this in a sheet protector and using an erasable marker. For those of you who download material to you iPad, I think it will work, because the squares for the letters are fairly large. I haven’t had time to try it yet.
Now that I know how to make crosswords, I want to make one for every holiday! I’ll use spell check next time.
Thank you so much for all you do to make piano lessons fun!! I am not creative so these ideas/worksheets/games are a lifesaver for me!!! Bless you!
Susan, is 5 Across supposed to be ABE. I just was not sure of the meaning of that word.
Many thanks!
Marion, yes, it is ABE. It is supposed to be Abe, like the nick-name for Abraham. It is one of the common 3 letter words used when making words using the music alphabet.
Can’t wait to share this with my students!! Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you Susan. What a cute crossword puzzle, I know my students will have fun learning with.
You’re welcome, and I hope they enjoy it.
Thank you for sharing the sheet protector and erasable maker idea!
Many of the worksheets would be worth lamanating for reuse.
Thanks, Patricia. After putting them in sheet protectors, then you can put them all in a big binder grouped by holiday or subject!
Looks wonderful! My students will Love this!
Thank you Sharon!
Susan, what would I do without you?!!!
Thanx for all your wonderful ideas.
