This is it. The last composing activity of the year.

If I'm being totally honest, my heart wasn't in this one when I first started it. There's so much Christmas music out there and my goal with these composition sheets - in addition to giving my young students a different kind of creative outlet and teaching them about composing - was to highlight holidays that don't get as much attention in the musical world.

But I do love Christmas and the further into creating these cute lyrics, the more excited I got about this project, so I present to you today: The Smelly Elf.

His name is Ralph.

Now before you get concerned and start judging poor Ralph, he is not a bad smelling elf.

As music teachers we are in a unique position. Especially those of us who teach privately. We see our students for longer than most teachers do and we are more than teachers to them.  We're friends, confidants, & role models.

So, in addition to teaching pick ups and syncopation, this 12-measure piece also gives us the opportunity to teach our students about caring for others by not judging them before we know more about them. Ralph is a smelly elf, but as your student will quickly learn he smells SO good!

This activity will be FREE for a limited time in my store!

Looking for more Christmas activities for your lessons or music classroom? I created a Pinterest Board with many other games, songs and activities!
