A festive spelling challenge for young musicians. Children name the notes on the treble stave to spell Christmas words, then use each word to finish a festive sentence. Every page also has a Music Maths section of note-value sums.
Inside
• 5 worksheets that build step by step: Starter, Getting going, Building up, Stretch and Challenge
• 5 answer keys, one for each worksheet
• 10 A4 pages in one PDF: worksheets 1–5 first, then answer keys 1–5
On every worksheet
• Spell the Christmas Words: four words written in notes on the stave, each with a Christmas sentence to complete
• A Code Key: the line notes E G B D F (“Every Green Bauble Dangles Festively”), the space notes F A C E, middle C on its ledger line below the stave and the A on a ledger line just above
• Music Maths: six beat sums using crotchets (1 beat), minims (2 beats) and semibreves (4 beats), plus a bonus question (adding beats, and taking them away on the last page). The themes are Santa’s sacks, snowball sums, gingerbread tins, reindeer and Santa’s sleigh
Designed for ages 8–11. A lovely way to practise note reading in lessons, in class or at home over the Christmas holidays.
Format: Instant digital download (one PDF, 10 A4 pages). No physical item is posted. Print at home or at a local print shop.
Licence: For personal use, or for use with your own pupils in a single teacher's studio. Please don't resell or share the files.

For best results, I recommend:
• Printing on standard white paper or slightly thicker paper (120–160gsm)
• Keeping completed sheets in a folder to track weekly progress over time
