Kids Music Day - Music Quiz


HAPPY KIDS MUSIC DAY EVERYONE!!!!!! Today is the final day of the week that I’ll be celebrating Kids Music Day this year but I will continue to speak about the importance of music in Education and for children throughout this blog as it is a matter that more people should be made aware about.


As a final post, I thought I’d do something fun and interactive whilst still providing you with some ideas of how you can engage children with Music. This is probably the easiest way to get children engaged from music and still have loads of fun. Quizzes have been around for ages and there’s so many different types of Quizzes nowadays including General knowledge Trivia, Trivial Pursuit, Personality Quizzes and Fandom Quizzes (The list is endless….)


As my last post for Kids Music Day this year, I have decided to create a Music Quiz which you can do whenever you want (simply post your answers/scores in the comments) - you can do it with a child or just give it to a child for a little activity to keep them entertained. So without further explaining, here’s my Music Quiz……


  1. Ed Sheeran’s albums are all named after what?

_____________________________


  1. Which former One Direction singer has recently released songs called “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore you”?

_____________________________


  1. In what year did Little Mix win the X Factor?

_____________________________


  1. What were the names of the original Take That? (5 points available)

_____________________________


  1. According to the lyrics of Kell’s “Milkshake”, released in 2003, where does her milkshake bring all of the boys?

____________________________


  1. Whose album is this? (See picture to the side ---------->)


____________________________


  1. Finish the lyrics: 

Do you want to build a snowman?

Or ride our bikes around the hall?

I think some company is overdue ……

  1. ABBA became famous after Eurovision but what country did they come from?

__________________________


  1. What is the opening line of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’?

____________________________


  1. What characters sing Hakuna Matata from The Lion King?

____________________________


Creating a quiz can be a really simple activity that can provide children with fun entertainment whilst also exposing them more to music. In fact, you can even play a section of the song for each question so that they can hear the music as well. If you don’t have any time in life to make a quiz though, there is always Google which has loads of Quizzes available on almost every music topic you can think of. Does your child have a particular genre or style that is their favourite? Do they love a certain artist? Are they a massive Disney fan? Do they like classical music? There’s quizzes online for all styles, genres, artists, TV shows, disney, Film music - all you need to do is find the one you want (and do it, of course!)


I hope you enjoy this quiz I’ve made for you - I’ve tried to include a range of genres so that its fun for everyone but I’m sorry if I’ve missed anything out! The answers can be seen at the bottom of this post so don’t forget to mark them and comment your results and your thoughts! What question did you like? What one did you find really difficult? Are there any people mentioned who you’ve never heard of? I’d love to know! :)




ANSWERS: 1) Math Symbols 2) Harry Styles 3) 2011 4) Robbie Williams, Garry Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange 5) Yard 6) Fleetwood Mac (Rumours) 7) I’ve started talking to / the pictures on the wall 8) Sweden 9) Is this the real life (is this just fantasy?) 10) Simba, Pumba, Timon

Music in the Home

  Kids Music Day - In the Home At the end of this week, people will be celebrating Kids Music Day on October 2nd. In recognition of this, I have made 5 posts which I will upload each day this week in order to encourage and advertise music with children. Kids Music Day is all about encouraging and celebrating the use of music with children. Each year, music is being less valued in schools and taught to less students each year. In fact, 60% said the Ebacc introduction directly affected music provision in their school and recent findings from the Education Policy Institute showed that arts entries at GCSE were declining. Enough of the statistics and facts because I’m not here to bore you. Instead, in this article I aim to show to you some of the ways that you can bring music into your home. The first step of encouraging music with children in schools is getting children interested into music in the first place!!!! So what can you do to bring music to home (this could be handy if we enter

A Month to Remember

 A  Month to Remember Typically, November is the month where we remember those in our lives who have passed away. Tying in with Remembering Sunday, where we remember those who lost their life fighting for peace, November is a month of reflection, grief, solace and hope for a brighter future.  I was recently alerted to a song composed using letters from daughters, wives and mothers of men serving in the military. It was such a touching song that it inspired me to look further into songs that were purposely written to remember soldiers in the military and songs that have been composed to help people through grief. But for today, I want to discuss the song Wherever You Are and the beauty behind it. Wherever You Are by Paul Mealor is a touching tribute to those in war, sung by the Military Wives Choir at the Rememberance Service in 2011. It claimed the Christmas number 1 with over 556,000 copies being sold in the week. Alongside the song was a short film outlining the wives’ experience whi
