Halloween Music Color by Note Mystery Pictures

Looking for Halloween music mystery pictures to review rhythm notes and rests with your elementary students?

I created these printable color-by-note worksheets to give students independent music theory practice during the fall season. They work well for quiet desk work, music centers, early finishers, and substitute lesson plans.

The set includes two differentiated learner levels: one with visual symbol keys and one with written note and rest names, making it easy to adapt across elementary grade levels.

--- WHAT IS INCLUDED? --- 12 printable worksheets (23 .pdf pages).

• Color by Notes and Rests (Symbol Key, pp. 2–7): match note and rest symbols to grid cells to reveal mystery Halloween pictures.
• Color by Notes and Rests (Name Key, pp. 9–14): read note and rest names to find matching notation symbols in the grid and color the pictures.

✨ Symbols used: quarter note, half note, whole note, eighth note, beamed eighth notes, beamed sixteenth notes, quarter rest, half rest, whole rest, and eighth rest.

Requires coloring supplies in 8 colors: black, blue, brown, gray, green, orange, purple, and yellow. Full-color answer keys are included.
