The Nutcracker Agenda Slides with Linked Music, Ballet Scenes and Activities

Are you looking for over 30 activities to use with your Nutcracker Unit? Do you need a beautiful Google Slide™ deck hyperlinked to youtube music and videos to both organize and present your Nutcracker lessons? Do you need Emergency Music or even Long Term Sub Plans for a non-music sub? These slides ensure that your students are actively making and responding to music whether you are there or not! Since the slides are editable, you can add to or delete any content that you wish. This pack can be used with k-5 students and includes links to scarf routines, rhythm play-alongs, boomwhacker play-alongs, movement activities, small percussion and drumming activities, and much more!

This Nutcracker Google Slide™ Deck includes:

• Editable slide file with hyperlinks to youtube videos. Included in each slide are links to the music from each movement, and a scene from the Nutcracker Ballet. Many slides also include links to a listening map, and several different types of active music making and movement videos.

Disclaimer: I recommend these for grades k-5. Be aware that this product is for many grade levels. What is appropriate for some grades may not be for others. Some of the activities linked are for younger students, and some of them are for older students. Please preview activities, and use what best suits your classes.

**PLEASE NOTE: In order for substitute teachers to use this, they will need to be fairly comfortable with technology, as they will have to be able to access the file in Google Slides (either through you sharing it with them, or typing the included link.)
