Free Musical Theatre Music Match Activity For MS/HS
by Terry Bojanowski 03 May '25

03 May '25

*Feel free to share this "game" with Music, Theatre, and English teachers * The end of the school year is always a challenging time to keep students engaged and learning. I've created a Musical Theatre Music Match activity that I know would be helpful for upper Elementary?, Middle School and High School teachers to use. (I'll never retire from music teaching!) MUSIC MATCH VIDEO LINK has orchestrations from 8 TND Musicals <https://youtu.be/nzk-KNGEcY0> and a cast photo as a "clue" to the name of the show. Students get a Worksheet with the 8 show logos and a box to write what music/photo goes to which show as they listen and watch the video. The teacher has the Answer Sheet. (See attachments). This could be used as an individual "assignment," or as a class discussion about the stories and how the music illustrates that story. All but two musicals are based on classic literature. FYI: Last year a Final Jeopardy question was asked "In literature Tom Sawyer’s guardian was this relative who was based in part on Mark Twain’s old mom." *Only one contestant, **Allison, responded*: “Who is Aunt Becky?” *Answer:* Aunt Polly Terry Bojanowski Managing Director, TND Musicals, LLC 440-299-7822 Phone TND(a)LicenSINGMusicals.com https://www.LicenSINGMusicals.com <https://www.facebook.com/TNDMusicals> <https://www.youtube.com/@TNDMusicals> <https://instagram.com/TNDMusicals>
