I've also added a bonus file: a year plan overview. This overview lists grade levels by month, giving a list of melodic and rhythmic concepts I prepared or practiced each month, the composer I chose for each month, and which activities and lessons from each set worked for that month and those concepts.

Download the preview for more information and visuals.

These activities can be used for any month you choose, or if you'd prefer, can be spread out over the year. Please note that due to copyright, you will have to provide the recordings for the activities, except for any files with embedded video or audio.
