St. Patrick`s Day Music Color by Rhythm Sheets | Music Color-by-Code

Looking for a simple way to review rhythms this March with St. Patrick's Day music coloring worksheets?

I created this set to give elementary music teachers an easy, print-and-go activity for March music lessons. Students match standard rhythm notation, written note names, and Kodály syllables to the color keys to reveal cheerful holiday illustrations. You can use these pages for independent seatwork, rhythm centers, early finishers, or quick sub plans.

The set includes three differentiated versions for each design, plus blank templates for custom practice.

There are 8 designs in this set in 3 different formats (24 pages in total + 8 pages with answers + 8 blank pages to create your own music rhythm worksheets ):

~1 format ~ for younger students – symbols match the symbols in the picture.

~2 format ~ for older students – symbols names are given in the keys.

~3 format ~ Kodaly approach – “rhythm terms” match the symbols in the picture.

Each set contains:

1 page –  (Pot of Gold - 3 colors) quarter note, 2 eighth notes, quarter rest.
