Guess the Musician Paper Bag Project

Each student secretly chooses a musician, researches them and listens to a song with an adult if possible. They glue three labels on the bag front and three on the back, add 3 small objects to a paper lunch bag and share clues while the class guesses.

Three pages after the cover. Page 1 lists 10 musicians, from Louis Armstrong to Ray Charles, plus supplies and five steps. Page 2 is a research page with a box to draw the musician and spaces for when they lived, instrument or voice, style and famous songs, life facts and why this person matters. Page 3 has 6 clue labels to fill in and cut out.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

14 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 31 Black History Month resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Black History Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
