Here is what I did for 4th grade recorders:
The students at my school learn recorder karate and compete to earn up to a black belt. I bought paper plates and indicated which color for each belt. Then I printed out the graphics for boys and girls, and after writing their name, they can move their person to whatever belt they have earned. I put a small hairband around the bottom of their recorder so they can tie the string for their belts. Then they could keep it when we are done.

Here is an idea for 5th/6th grade general music :
The students listened to a piece of music and came up with a story to go with the music. Download Quicktime:[]
