This is an activity that I have done quite a few times with general music classes. It would also be fun for a group piano lesson. Students name notes to decode the Orange Julius Recipe. After they have it figured out, we simply dump the ingredients into a blender, mix ‘em up, and enjoy. I sometimes review various tempi when turning the blender from lower to higher speeds. Students love this activity, and I have to admit, I do, too!

What a fun idea!
Yeah, I don’t know that it’s horribly educational, especially since most kids can figure out the missing letters without the notes. It is fun, though, and it sure tastes good!
