X Xylophone ABC Coloring Page
Ways to Use This Coloring Page
Simple ideas for using this printable at home, school, libraries, or quiet creative time.
A xylophone with two mallets rests beside a bold letter X, with music notes floating above. Almost every alphabet set uses xylophone for X, and this page is the one that explains why the sound does not match.
Line up several glasses with different amounts of water in each and tap them gently with a spoon. Listen for which one rings highest and see whether your child can arrange them from low to high.
Grounded in Harvard's serve and return research
- What do you use to play a xylophone?
- Xylophone is one of the trickiest words in the whole alphabet. The X at the front sounds like a /z/, not the /ks/ sound X usually makes.
- What do you notice about the bars as they go from one end to the other?
- Do you think the longest bars make high sounds or low sounds?
- Can you clap a short rhythm and have someone copy it back to you?
