Fall Music Coloring Color by Rhythm Fall Music Worksheets Music Color by Note

Looking for a simple way to add some seasonal fun to your lessons this October and November? These Fall Music Color by Note worksheets are a classroom favorite because they combine rhythm practice with the creativity of coloring. Students get to practice reading and identifying rhythms while creating fun, fall-themed pictures, and you get an activity that’s easy to prep and keeps kids engaged.

These print-and-go pages are especially helpful when you need something quiet and meaningful—perfect for sub plans, centers, early finishers, or review days. Instead of just filling time, students are reinforcing their rhythm reading skills while enjoying a creative task. Many teachers even like to use them as a calming activity after a more active lesson or rehearsal.

Each music color by note page focuses on common rhythms like quarter notes, eighth notes, and half notes. As students correctly identify each rhythm, they color in parts of the picture to reveal a fun fall design. It feels like a game, but it’s actually a great way to check for rhythm understanding in a low-stress way.

• 5 Fall Scenes to Color
