Music Games (by date, oldest first)

Ready, Set, Hike! Get ready for a game of Football with your piano students!

FOOTBALL FRENZY - for Keyboard Geography is a great game to play with your beginner piano students when they are learning the names of the keys, especially if they are lovers of football!

The goal of the game is for players to move from one endzone on the board to the other! You can play this game with up to 6 players in your classes or lessons.

This resource features everything you will need to set up your game including question and action cards, two types of game boards, and movers!

The game takes a little bit of prep but is fun to pull out with your students to play once you have the game created as there is cutting and optional laminating involved to put the game together.

In the resource, you will find the following pages:

• 2 Game Boards: Full Color Ink-Friendly (with backside for double-sided printing)
• 1 Page of full-color correctly-sized movers (Optional to use with the game, you can use your own!)
• 6 sets (12 pages) of question cards and 1 set of penalty cards.

The Question cards feature all 12 keys with keyboard diagrams beginning on the C key, and Diagrams beginning on the F key.

The Penalty cards feature movement cards for students to move back 5 yards, 10 yards, or back to the start as penalties - just like you would have penalties in a football game!

Football Frenzy is a reproducible game so you can make as many copies of the game as needed for your lessons and classes.

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!

And game assembly is even easier! This resource is a no-prep, ready-to-go game to print and play with your students! However, if you’d like to reuse pages, you are more than welcome to print on thicker paper and/or laminate pages for durability and longevity.

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.
• Set 3: Using all the white keys in C-D-E-F-G-A-B and F-G-A-B-C-D-E orders.

In this game, and the individual sets, there are three types of game pages:

• Big Game Pages
• Small Game Pages
• and Multi-Key Small Game Pages

The big game pages are 1 game grid per page using two keys, the small game pages are 4 game grids per page using two keys, and the multi-key games use different keys in each game grid.

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 Primer uses only alphabet letters, so they won't need to know notes on the staff just yet!

This version of the game includes sharps and flats for each music alphabet letter: A♭, A, A♯, B♭, B, B♯, C♭, C, C♯, D♭, D, D♯, E♭, E, E♯, F♭, F, F♯, G♭, G, G♯. We added the accidentals so you can play the game with older students and dive into advanced concepts!

Set up is simple: Just print, cut and play! There are 8 cards on a page, with one letter on each page. Each Music Alphabet letter 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.

Send the game home! We've recently updated the product with an instruction page so you can send a set of the game home with students and they can play with their family and friends!

Did you know you can earn TeachShare credit toward future purchases?! It's true! If you've used the product and enjoy it, be sure to come back to give it a review and rating to receive your credit and so other teachers can see how awesome this game is!

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!

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 94 pages in the resource! Included in this set are the following pages:

• Pages 1-47: Piano Keys C-D-E-F-G-A-B. Big Games, 4 Small Games, and Multi-key games.

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.
