Terms/Symbols Set 1B - Camping Activities

Build expressive musical fluency with a playful outdoor twist!

This beginner-friendly worksheet set helps students of all ages recognize and understand five essential expressive markings in music:

• Legato – smooth and connected

• Staccato – short and detached

• Tie – combines the rhythmic value of two notes

• Crescendo – gradually get louder

• Diminuendo – gradually get softer

Each activity is centered around a camping activities theme—think fishing, bird watching, hiking, and roasting marshmallows—adding an extra layer of fun while reinforcing key music vocabulary and symbols.

Students will practice:

• Matching music terms to their correct symbols

• Connecting terms to their definitions

• Repeated symbol identification for confident recognition

This set is ideal for private lesson teachers, classroom educators, or homeschool families looking to support music literacy in an engaging, hands-on way. Whether your students are young children or adult beginners, these worksheets make expressive markings stick!
