3rd Grade Vocal Music Printables

In SOLFEGE BATTLE ROYALE, students will receive a deck of random solfege syllables which they will turn face down and keep them to themselves.

• (The way I do this is to take 50 random cards in a baggie and have one student be the "leader" and hand out 10-15 cards per student)

Students may receive two of the same card, three of the same card, or even no particular solfege card during the game. (You will decide whether students get 10, 15, 20, etc... the more cards the students get, the more opportunities they have to play... and win!!!)

Students (up to 5 players) may sit in a circle or around a hula hoop and count down from 3… They will say "3...2...1... BATTLE!"

As soon as they hit the word “BATTLE!”, just like the card game "WAR" every student in the circle throws their top card down into the circle

• The students will look around and identify which syllable is the highest in the series. As we’ve learned, the syllables go ascending (up) from the following syllables…

• Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti

• Once the students identify the highest syllable, the student with the highest syllable is declared the winner of that battle!

• The student gets to take all of the cards from the other students and repeat again

Then they keep it going and going and going! Then the students play a new round until time is up and whoever is left with the most solfege cards at the end of the game is the winner!

All you need are:

• about 12 printouts of Solfege Cards cut (lamination optional)
• 5 or 6 hula hoops for the kids to sit around (if you don't have these, they can sit in a circle)
• some fun background music (optional!)
• and run the powerpoint

You're there to just facilitate :) Have a great time with this, kids LOVE it!
