Free Music Choice Boards

for End-of-Year Review

Looking for an easy, engaging way to keep your music students learning and having fun at the end of the school year? These FREE Music Activity Choice Boards are the perfect solution! Designed with both lower and upper elementary students in mind, these choice boards give your learners the opportunity to review musical concepts while adding creativity and autonomy to your classroom.

Why Use Music Choice Boards?

As the end of the year approaches, keeping students focused and engaged can be challenging. That’s where choice boards come in! They provide:

✅ Student Autonomy – Students get to choose activities that interest them

✅ Built-In Differentiation – Tailor the experience to different ages and skill levels

✅ Musical Concept Review – Fun and interactive ways to revisit key ideas

✅ Low-Prep Simplicity – Just print and go (or project digitally!)

By offering a variety of activities, choice boards encourage ownership of learning and keep students motivated right through the last week of school.

What's Included?

This free resource includes two versions of the music activity choice board:

  • Lower Elementary Choice Board: Perfect for younger students (K–2), activities are simple, engaging, and designed for independent or small group work. Think basic rhythm practice, musical drawing, and favorite song sharing.
  • Upper Elementary Choice Board: Created for Grades 3–5, this board offers more advanced review tasks like composing a rhythm pattern, analyzing a favorite piece of music, or creating a playlist based on a mood or theme.

Each board includes a variety of activities covering key musical concepts like rhythm, melody, dynamics, and instrument families—so no matter what you’ve covered this year, there’s a way to reinforce it!
