Musical Spot It!
Spot It! is ais to put thme togreat game that we bought for our family a few years ago. It was so much fun, that I decided to develop my own version of Musical Spot It. Click here and here to see how to play the original Spot It game. Has it captured your interest yet? It's so much fun! I used this game at my music camp in the summer and it was a big hit. For directions on how to make your own just click on the link below:
To store the cards, use a round container. I used a Chocolate Milk Powder canister, cut off the top and then popped the plastic lid back on top. It works like a charm.
Musical Gobblet

| The regular Gobblet game from BlueOrange Games |
Gobblet is another great game from the BlueOrange Games company. You can go to their website blueorangegames.com to view the Gobblet game and see how it is played. It's quite the strategy game - but old and young will enjoy it. So I've adapted this game for some musical fun. Instead of having the "gobblets" as sized cannisters, I've made game pieces that have note values on them for the "sizes". So for instance, a whole note can "gobble" a quarter note etc. This is basically a glorified game of tictactoe.... but with some strategy involved. And of course this will reinforce relative note values.
You can get the pdf file of this below:
Staff Race
There is no pdf file for this one, but it's pretty easy to make your own game. You just need a die with a quarter note, a half note, a dotted half and a whole note, plus a quarter rest and a half rest. Roll the die and that takes you to whatever bar of music on the game board. Do the activity there... name a note, clap a rhythm, whatever. You can decide what you put on the board... make it for whatever level you want. If you are successful, then you stay where you are - if not - then go back 2 bars (or spaces). The rests on the die can be used as "miss a turn" or "miss 2 turns" if you wish. You get to make the rules!
Here's a picture of mine. Feel free to copy - or do your own thing.
This game was inspired by a pinterest pin: Stave Racers
Weekly Assignment Sheets
Some people might be interested in the new assignment sheets that I am trying out this year. I got tired of the notebooks I was using. They got messy and wrecked by about halfway through the year. As well, the kids were not really reading them. So my plan is to put the sheets one by one, each week, into a clear plastic duotang. I will use the duotang upside down so that I can add the sheets on top of each other, so the most recent will always be on top and they will be able to see it through the clear plastic. I am giving the link below, and it goes to the "word" version of the sheets. It won't come up perfectly, but you can adjust it for your own use. The rating section is supposed to have happy and sad faces and the "special notes" section should be on the first page and not take up a whole page by itself. Enjoy them if you wish... I made them for my own students so they fit my style of teaching and will do for all levels.
Weekly Assignment Sheets - remember, this is not a PDF so you might have to do some adjusting in order to use them... good thing is that you can add your own ideas! Actually, if you download it and bring it up in "word", the page looks fine, just the way I made it.
