Welcome to Happy & Bright Resources
Hi, I’m Bethany—music teacher and author behind Happy & Bright! Whether you’re looking to energize your class with engaging classroom games, plan a fun Friday with exciting fun learning activities, or need a sub-friendly backup plan, you’re in the right place. I design low-prep, high-fun music education resources to help students think critically, collaborate creatively, and actually enjoy learning.
About Happy & Bright
Our Mission
At Happy & Bright, we believe that learning should be fun, meaningful, and just a little bit magical. Whether it’s a classroom games bingo event, a music room escape challenge, or a puzzle that sparks critical thinking, my goal is to create fun learning activities that make students light up—and make teachers’ lives easier.
When I’m not in the classroom or designing new music education resources, you’ll probably find me singing at church, walking with my two cocker spaniels (Melody & Sammy), or brainstorming my next big idea over a cup of tea. Thanks for stopping by—
I’m so glad you’re here!
