Jingle Bells on Boomwhackers

Jingle Bells is a color-coded Boomwhacker play-along on bimbadi: the notes fly toward your class in their tube colors on the smartboard or projector, with English lyrics to sing along. You need the 8-note diatonic set plus the B♭ tube from the chromatic set. Santa’s sleigh flies across the screen while you play, and there is a cartoon version for the projector as well. This play-along is a bonus that comes with the colored sheet music on eduki; the code inside unlocks it.

No tubes? With the QR wall every student scans a code and gets one color as an instrument on a phone or tablet. Boomwhacker colors: C red, D orange, E yellow, F light green, G dark green, A purple, B pink, high C red again.

Classroom idea

Let the whole class play the chorus and a smaller group take the verse, then switch. Add sleigh bells or a set of keys on every beat to keep the steady beat audible. Students without a tube can pat the beat on their laps.

Colored sheet music and bonus code

The colored sheet music for “Jingle Bells” is available on eduki, a teaching-materials marketplace (German edition). Inside you will find a bonus code that unlocks this play-along. Enter it on the song list or right in the player; your browser remembers it.

💡 German sheet music uses the German note names: H is your B, and B means B♭. The colors are the same.
