Brilliant Starter Activity Ideas


A brilliant starter activity which could be adapted for different abilities and subjects.
Worksheet - The student has a copy of this in front of them to help them work out where the treasure is. I suggest that you laminate them if you want to use them often!

PowerPoint - This needs to be shown to the students as it contains the rhythmic codes for the teacher to play. I would suggest using this as a starter activity when teaching notation and note values.



Treasure Hunt
The game can be adapted to include more complex rhythms or notes on the stave. Rewards (in line with the schools merit system) could be used when the student works out the correct square that you stop the rhythms on. I have chosen to use the pictures of animals on the treasure board (as it is sooo easy to make the students think that they are not completing music work!)
