Christmas Count-Down Practice Chart

I saw an advent calendar puzzle this year that had acts of kindness for each day of December. Ideas to help us be intentional being kind to others in a month that can be hectic, busy and tiring. It also helps us not think of ourselves in a month where we think about everything we want.

It got me to thinking that it might be fun to do something similar with practicing. Helping my students want to practice and have a little spark of fun to practicing. So I created a Christmas Count-Down Practice Chart. Pick one tree or bell to do each day in the month of December. Some of the ideas are just to be silly, like stand on one foot. Several of the activities I just wanted to bring awareness, like say ho! ho! ho! for every rest. If your students are like mine, they often skip or overlook rests. Some are to get intentional practice in, work on your flashcards, play a hard spot… Hope it brings some fun and energy to practicing in December. There are several days to listen to different famous Christmas pieces. Choose what you want your student or child to listen to. It doesn’t have to be the whole work!
