You need your students to learn their Music Alphabet, and fast, and it needs to be interactive...and you need to integrate technology...whew, that's a lot! You've found a great product that rolls the Music Alphabet into a fun, fast-paced game!

NoteStackers is a new game from ZS Music Publishing where students have to quickly think of how the alphabet moves back and forth. NoteStackers Level 1 is Bass F to Treble G on the grand staff.

Set up is simple: Just print, cut and play! There are 8 cards on a page, with two notes on each page. Each note has a card front and optional card back. Every level also as a different shape on the card incase you purchase and use multiple levels with your students. The card backs contain the level name in color, which you can print in black and white on white paper, or colored paper or card stock. For durability, you can laminate these cards as well. This product is reproducible, so you can make as many copies as you wish.

Playing the game is fun and easy! Players take turns putting down cards in order of the music alphabet. Cards that can be plated should have  the same letter, one letter before, or one letter after the letter that’s on the play pile - essentially step down, same note, or step up. (For example, if the card in play is C, players can put down B, C, or D. If the card in play is A, players can put down G, A, or B.) After a player has put down a card, they should draw another, as each player should have five cards during the game. 

The game will end either when the draw pile as been depleted, or when the teacher decides time is up. If time is still going and the draw pile has depleted, players can use the play pile as the new draw pile.

You need your students to learn their Music Alphabet, and fast, and it needs to be interactive...and you need to integrate technology...whew, that's a lot! You've found a great product that rolls the Music Alphabet into a printable, interactive, and digital product all in one! NoteStackers Digital Edition is a new game from ZS Music Publishing where students have to quickly think of how the alphabet moves back and forth. NoteStackers Level 1 uses the Middle C Position (in piano): Bass F up to Treble G.

Set up is simple: Just print and play! There are two types of pages in the PDF document: Ink-friendly with a white background, and full-color backgrounds for online lesson use. If you plan to print pages out, lamination is suggested for the longevity of the pages, or you can print multiple pages on a sheet for exit tickets, worksheets, and more! The full-color background pages are great for projecting on whiteboards, online lessons, and other digital uses! This product is reproducible, so you can make as many copies as you wish.

Playing the game is as simple as set up! Each page has a note in the middle, and students must think of the note that comes before and after the given note. Then, the correct note is written into the grey boxes on the left and right sides, along with the note name. You can play this in a private lesson setting, or as a whole class! Since this is a flashcard-type game, you can play this for as long as needed, say for a bell-ringer, or for those last five minutes of the class.

Bonus Gameplay: For a twist on the game, you can have students practice intervals and think of 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, etc instead of 2nds or steps as the game is set up for. This would be a great way for students to learn and practice the circle of 5ths and circle of 4ths.

Be on the lookout for the companion card-game, and future levels of NoteStackers, coming soon!

Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves a fun and quick game of Tic-Tac-Toe! And I'm willing to bet every teacher loves a fun and quick way to review concepts with their students. This resource is a perfect combination of both!

Tic-Tac-Key is NO PREP printable game set that you can use with students in private lessons, group lessons, and piano classes! This set uses all the white keys in two different key sets: C-D-E-F-G-A-B and F-G-A-B-C-D-E.

Gameplay is easy!

1. Select one of the pages to use with your students.
2. Players will choose one of the given key to play rather than Xs and Os. (Ex: players can choose F or G on the first page). 
3. Students will play like normal Tic-Tac-Toe using a pencil or other writing utensil. Just like Tic-Tac-Toe, three in a Row Wins!
4. On the Four-Game page, best three out of four wins!

The game pages are solely in black and white, so you can print on colored paper to make the game pop a little more, OR to separate the different games out. I would suggest laminating the Big Game pages so you can use dry-erase markers with them. You can also use the Big Game pages with your younger students.

There are 118 game pages in the resource, from all three sets of Tic-Tac-Key:

• Set 1: Using the C, D, E keys.
• Set 2: Using the F, G, A, B keys.

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.

Have you been DREAMING about a quick game you can play with your students to review DYNAMICS?

Well, QUIT DREAMING! It's reality! Say hello to DREAMING of DYNAMICS: A game board to review dynamics.

Dreaming of Dynamics has students review (or learn) dynamics based on their:

• Italian Names (Pianissimo, Piano, Mezzo Piano, Mezzo Forte, Forte, Fortissimo, and Crescendo.)
• Abbreviated Symbols (pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and <)
• and their function (very soft, medium loud, growing louder, etc).

However, there's a twist that could cause you to wake up from your daydream!

On the board are two blue "Dream" spaces where students can ride clouds up the board to move closer to the end of the board.

There are also two "WAKE UP" spaces where students ride the clouds down and fall backward on the board.

And of course, what game wouldn't be complete if students have to wait their turn?! There are three yellow spaces with a Fermata where students skip their next turn if they land on the space.

Included in the game is a cheat sheet to help students out when playing the game.

Also included in this set are 30 different movers that you can cut out and laminate for students to use that are themed to the game. These movers are Clouds, Suns, Moons, Stars, and Lightening Bolts in the colors Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, and White.

This product is our print version of the game (meant to play in-person). We do have a digital version of the game you can play online!

Your support of a small business is appreciated! Dreaming of Dynamics IS a reproducible resource, but you may not share it with other teachers or schools outside of the original purchaser. If you have a colleague who likes the game, send them here to purchase their own copy!

You need your students to learn their Music Alphabet, and fast, and it needs to be interactive...and you need to integrate technology...whew, that's a lot! You've found a great product that rolls the Music Alphabet into a fun, fast-paced game!

NoteStackers is a new game from ZS Music Publishing where students have to quickly think of how the alphabet moves back and forth. NoteStackers Alto Clef uses 1 Octave Below Middle C  to 1 Octave Above Middle C on the staff.

Set up is simple: Just print, cut and play! There are 8 cards on a page, with two notes on each page. Each note has a card front and optional card back. Every level also as a different shape on the card incase you purchase and use multiple levels with your students. The card backs contain the level name in color, which you can print in black and white on white paper, or colored paper or card stock. For durability, you can laminate these cards as well. This product is reproducible, so you can make as many copies as you wish.

Playing the game is fun and easy! Players take turns putting down cards in order of the music alphabet. Cards that can be plated should have  the same letter, one letter before, or one letter after the letter that’s on the play pile - essentially step down, same note, or step up. (For example, if the card in play is C, players can put down B, C, or D. If the card in play is A, players can put down G, A, or B.) After a player has put down a card, they should draw another, as each player should have five cards during the game. 

The game will end either when the draw pile as been depleted, or when the teacher decides time is up. If time is still going and the draw pile has depleted, players can use the play pile as the new draw pile.

If you plan to print pages out, lamination is suggested for the longevity of the pages, or you can print multiple pages on a sheet for exit tickets, worksheets, and more! The full-color background pages are great for projecting on whiteboards, online lessons, and other digital uses! This product is reproducible, so you can make as many copies as you wish.

Playing the game is as simple as set up! Each page has a note in the middle, and students must think of the note that comes before and after the given note. Then, the correct note is written into the grey boxes on the left and right sides, along with the note name. You can play this in a private lesson setting, or as a whole class! Since this is a flashcard-type game, you can play this for as long as needed, say for a bell-ringer, or for those last five minutes of the class.

Bonus Gameplay: For a twist on the game, you can have students practice intervals and think of 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, etc instead of 2nds or steps as the game is set up for. This would be a great way for students to learn and practice the circle of 5ths and circle of 4ths.

Be on the lookout for the companion card-game, and future levels of NoteStackers, coming soon!

You need your students to learn their Music Alphabet, and fast, and it needs to be interactive...and you need to integrate technology...whew, that's a lot! You've found a great product that rolls the Music Alphabet into a fun, fast-paced game!

NoteStackers is a new game from ZS Music Publishing where students have to quickly think of how the alphabet moves back and forth. NoteStackers Level 5 is Bass C to Low C on the grand staff.

Set up is simple: Just print, cut and play! There are 8 cards on a page, with two notes on each page. Each note has a card front and optional card back. Every level also as a different shape on the card incase you purchase and use multiple levels with your students. The card backs contain the level name in color, which you can print in black and white on white paper, or colored paper or card stock. For durability, you can laminate these cards as well. This product is reproducible, so you can make as many copies as you wish.

Playing the game is fun and easy! Players take turns putting down cards in order of the music alphabet. Cards that can be plated should have  the same letter, one letter before, or one letter after the letter that’s on the play pile - essentially step down, same note, or step up. (For example, if the card in play is C, players can put down B, C, or D. If the card in play is A, players can put down G, A, or B.) After a player has put down a card, they should draw another, as each player should have five cards during the game. 

The game will end either when the draw pile as been depleted, or when the teacher decides time is up. If time is still going and the draw pile has depleted, players can use the play pile as the new draw pile.
