I know how challenging that first month of school is for music educators. I’ve had to learn anywhere from 100 to 600 new names when I’ve traveled to other schools.

I’m hoping that these back to school freebies for music educators will help get your classroom organized, build classroom community, and teach music concepts too! 

Even if you’ve already started school, these freebies can be added to your “teacher bag” of resources. Let’s get to the back to school freebies for music educators, which focus on:

  • building classroom community
  • classroom decor
  • teaching music concepts.

Some of the Freebies are on TPT and some are in the SING PLAY CREATE FREE RESOURCE LIBRARY!

Build Classroom Community

This freebie is a back to school elementary music class ice breaker. You can also jump right back into your classroom community with this simple and fun game when you get back from any holiday or absence. The game gives students a chance to share while building classroom community and relationships. There are two versions. One is perfect for Kindergarten through 3rd grade, and the other version is best for 2nd through 6th grade. You can play with a bean bag or without.

  • “Use your magical musical camera to take a picture of your number. Remember, you only get one click of the camera!” (Otherwise, everyone keeps clicking away….)
