Get Year 1 listening, playing and performing this Halloween with a visual, colourful, interactive PowerPoint music lesson. Children learn the key music words loud, quiet, high and low, then move their voices up and down like a bat or a bear. Short activities introduce dynamics, pitch and the steady pulse, and pupils explore ways to make sounds on classroom instruments by tapping, shaking, ringing and scraping. A listening slide invites children to describe creaking doors, howling wind and bubbling cauldrons using musical vocabulary. In the first hands-on activity pupils match Halloween picture cards to instruments; in the second they work in groups to plan, practise and perform a spooky soundscape with a beginning, middle and end. Friendly speech-bubble prompts keep everyone joining in. No specialist music knowledge is needed, so it is ideal for busy teachers, no-prep Halloween lessons and cover lessons. Matched to the KS1 Music programme of study. 13 slides, including a where-this-leads-next slide for Year 2.
