The NoteStackers line of products is EXPANDING! We're excited to introduce the Digital Presentation editions! These Digital Presentation versions allow for more interaction for students and classes both in-person and online!

NoteStackers Primer Presentation Edition focuses solely on the Music Alphabet Letters. For this level, students are given a letter in the middle and then write in a letter that comes before and a letter that comes after the given letter.

Wanna know the best part? You can use this with any age and level of students and classes, not just beginners!

Let's explain...

While the primer edition IS meant for beginners to test their note-reading ability and to see how the Music Alphabet moves, you can test older students and classes with things such as:

• Intervals:

  • "What's a Skip Above A?"
  • "What's A Skip Below A?"
  • "What's a 4th below A, and a 4th above A?"

• Chords:

  • "A is the 3rd of the chord, give the root and 5th"

• Inversions:

  • "C is the Root of the chord, give the 3rd above it, 5th below it, and name the inversion"

The versatility is priceless and the possibilities for this game are endless!

In total, there are 9 slides in this presentation:

• Title Slide
• Intro Slide and Instructions
• "A" Slide
• "B" Slide
• "C" Slide
• "D" Slide
• "E" Slide
• "F" Slide
• "G" Slide

Because this is a presentation software version, you can duplicate slides as needed to create a longer version of the game, and you can use a slide randomizing add-on to vary the letters as well.

Since there are not moveable parts with this level of the game, the Primer Level can be used with any presentation software.

Note, this product is only to be used by the original purchaser and may not be distributed to other teachers/schools. We appreciate getting referrals for our products!

One of the best ways to assess comprehension and mastery of a concept is by playing games! And what's better than a game your students already know to play?!

DROP FOUR BEATS is a rhythm comprehension game in the style of another game where you have to connect four same-colored coins in a row.

However, Drop Four Beats is a game where students place their coins on the game board to build rhythms and correctly perform their rhythms!

To build the rhythms, students play the game like the "connection" game, but there are note and rest values on the coins. We've included Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, Beamed 8th Notes, 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes so you can play the game with a variety of students and their learning levels.

As a bonus, we've included a low to no-prep version of the game as well! With this version, you simply need to print off the game board, have students choose a colored writing utensil to use, and choose the note values or let your students choose the note values they will use and they draw on the game board! This version can also be laminated and used with dry-erase markers as well.

Included in the document are the following pages:

• Full-Color Printable Game Board
• Coin Page with Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, and Beamed 8th Notes: 24 yellow coins, 24 red coins.
• Coin Page with 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes: 24 yellow coins, 24 red coins.
• Low/No-Prep version of the game using Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, and Beamed 8th Notes.
• Low/No-Prep version of the game using 1-8th 2-16th Notes, 2-16th 1-8th Notes, and Beamed 16th notes.

There is some preparation involved to get the game ready for your students. After printing, you will need to cut out the coins you plan to use for the game, and you may want to laminate the game board and the coins for durability and longevity.

Did you know you can receive TeachShare credit for reviewing and rating resources?? It's true! After you've downloaded and used the resource, come back and provide your feedback and you'll receive you credit to use for future purchases!
