Strum, Bang, Toot! Musical Instruments

About This Resource

A complete Grade 2 ESL vocabulary pack on eight musical instruments: guitar, piano, drum, violin, trumpet, flute, saxophone and banjo. Children match instruments to pictures and actions (play, strum, bang, blow), sort them into families, read a short text about a school band and say which instrument they can or would like to play. Includes slides, a lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, homework, A5 flashcards, a rubric, Word files and answer keys.

Overview

Children learn eight instrument names and the verbs we use with them: we strum a guitar, bang a drum and blow a trumpet. They sort instruments into simple families (strings, drums and wind), read about a school band getting ready for a concert, and use I can play the … and I would like to play the … to talk about music. The pack works well with real classroom instruments or short sound clips.

Learning Objectives

  • Say and recognize eight musical instrument words.
  • Sort instruments into strings, drums and wind instruments.
  • Use I can play the … and I would like to play the …

How to Use This Resource

  • Play short sound clips or real instruments. Children guess the instrument, then see the flashcard.
  • Do worksheet activities 1 and 2 together, saying each word aloud.

Classroom Activity Ideas

  • Air band: say an instrument; children pretend to play it.
  • Guess the sound: play a clip; teams race to name the instrument.
  • Class band survey: children ask Can you play the …? and make a tally chart.

Differentiation

Support: focus on four instruments (guitar, piano, drum, trumpet). Challenge: children describe an instrument without naming it: It has strings. You strum it.

Assessment

Use the worksheet and quiz to check vocabulary and sorting. Use the rubric during the class band survey.

Teacher Tips

We usually say play the piano and play the guitar, with the. Use real instruments or short recordings if you can; sound makes the words stick. Not every child learns an instrument at home, so I would like to play gives everyone something to say.
