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 particular set uses the set of C, D and E keys.

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 C or D 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.

Included in this set are the following 8 pages:

• C and D Big Game Page
• C and D 4 Game Page
• D and E Big Game Page
• D and E 4 Game Page
• C and E Big Game Page
• C and E 4 Game Page
• C, D or E Big Game Page
• 4 Game Page: C and D, D and E, C and E, C and D.

Something that'll satisfy your caffeine fix and your students understanding and mastery of rhythm!

In Rhythm Espresso, students will see an assortment of 10 famous beverages (by national coffee chains, of course) and accompanying coffee logos with rhythms in them. One of the rhythms match the rhythmic syllabes said in the beverage name.

Have your students select the rhythm they believe to be correct, advance the slide, and the correct rhythm will illuminate green!

Works well with boys vs girls, team vs team, individually, or even as a distance learning activity!

In a competitive note naming game, you can practice your lines and spaces while getting out a little energy with your students! In Pitch to the Pitch, students will be split into groups (boys vs girls, colors vs colors, teams vs teams, however you wish) and one representative will stand in front of the whiteboard to represent their team. They will both use one suction cup ball to play the game (can be found at the dollar store or target for a few bucks!)

They will be show a line or a space note (bottom line E up to top line F) and see two or three corresponding circles above the pitch. One of those circles will be the correct pitch -- encourage your students to pitch their ball to the correct answer... whoever gets it the fastest wins (advance it to the next slide to reveal the answer in green)

Have a great time with this and as always, leave questions in the comments if you need anything :)

This is a competitive solfege naming game in powerpoint format. The learning goal is for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to name solfege hand signs as fast as they can. We usually play this game 'around the world' style. We start off on the left side or right side of the the room and the first two people stand up and you flash a note on the screen.The student who gets the note correct gets to move onto the next child in the class while the other student sits. Despite the previews, the solfege symbol has a blank below it, and on the next animation it will appear. That student has to make their way through the entire class before being deemed champion... but they could be beat at ANY TIME! You can mix it up, left side, right side, boys/girls, etc. Kids get ultra competitive, especially in 5th grade.

Test your student's luck by playing the Lucky Clovers matching game. Just like a regular matching game, the object is to match a term to its appropriate symbol. The term is on one half of the clover, and the symbol is on the other half. Lucky Clovers can also be used as a memory game as well. Since the document is mostly black and white, I highly suggest these sheets be printed on green paper - copy paper or cardstock and then laminated for durability.

The follow-up to "Rhythm Wind Up and PITCH! and MELODY Wind Up and PITCH!"
______________________________________

This one will get the kids on their edge of their seats!

You will need 1 thing for this particular game:

• A sticky suction cup ball (or maybe a soft squishy ball)

The students will see an instrument at the bottom of their screen and memorize the timbre of the instrument (should know beforehand what it is and how it sounds!) They will then hear a musical example of an endless loop of orchestral and band instruments playing in all different ranges from low to high (Teacher will click the speaker icon to play)

Take a listen...

....

....

One of the instruments will be the instrument that is on the screen. AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THAT INSTRUMENT, they throw their suction cup ball at the target. The first kid who gets it correct is the winner (and make sure you advance the slide to make the target turn green) :)

Obviously, we cannot play this as a class because of

1. The amount of suction cup balls tossed at the screen would be insane

2. Team A v Team B would be a bit more competitive and only two balls would be launched at once

If you don't have a whiteboard/projection screen, you can alternatively have the students raise their hand when they hear it and choose the kid who has their hand up the fastest.

Have a great time with this fast paced game!

Are you looking for something fun and different for your students? Maybe you need some extra activities for early finishers...well look no further!

Entertain your class while integrating music and language with Music Wordle! This resources includes 46 Music Wordles that you can assign to your students or play together as a class. You could even hold a competition to see who can solve each Worldle first! There is lots of flexibility on how you can use this resource. I created this in Google Sheets. Your Music Wordle Google Sheet will include links to each of the 46 Music Wordle Puzzles. I've included a solutions tab as well as a table that includes puzzle hints, if you choose to share with your students. Each hyperlink is set up for you to make a copy of the Music World Puzzle before you play.

These puzzles are a great way for students to reinforce their understanding of enharmonic pitches.

The object of the game is to match the 3 pitch names with the corresponding key on the piano keys. Each note has its own set of 4 puzzles pieces – 12 sets total. The only exception is GB/Ab, which has two pitch names and two keyboards.

This set maybe printed on white printer paper, but I suggest printing on cardstock and laminating for durability. To make the puzzle pieces look nice on the back, I have included a background on the last page – but this is totally optional. For different level of game play, print out the pieces on 4 different colors of paper, and have the students connect the puzzle by colors.

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!

In a competitive solfege syllable naming game, you can practice your do-re-mi while getting out a little energy with your students! In Throw Re Mi, students will be split into groups (boys vs girls, colors vs colors, teams vs teams, however you wish) and one representative will stand in front of the whiteboard to represent their team. They will both use one suction cup ball to play the game (can be found at the dollar store or Target for a few bucks!)

They will be shown a solfege hand sign and see two or three corresponding circles above the hand sign. One of those circles will be the correct syllable (DO or RE, MI or TI, FA or LA, etc) -- encourage your students to throw their ball to the correct answer... whoever gets it the fastest wins (advance it to the next slide to reveal the answer in blue)

Also included is in an advanced round, called Throw Re Mi - Remix where it's flipped. The solfege hand signs will be on the top and the syllable on the bottom!

Have a great time with this and as always, leave questions in the comments if you need anything :)

Bring the fun of "Where's Waldo?" into music class with "Where's Notation?"!

Students will see squares with a single quarter note positioned on the treble clef staff (E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E, and F) and will be asked "Where's __?" (Where's C? Where's E? etc...).

Students will have to work to quickly find the letter on the board (either time limited, group vs group, individual vs individual, however you'd like it!)

As soon as they find it, illuminate the box by pressing the advance button on the slide!

Round 1 has 8 boxes
Round 2 has 10 boxes

Round 3 has 23 boxes (phew!)

Have a great time with this!

Want to see if the kids know which instrument belongs in which family with an interactive way to do it? Try "FAMILY FEUD - Identifying Instrument Families"!

In FAMILY FEUD, students will see a TV screen with an instrument displayed on the screen. It could be anywhere from a Flute all the way to an Electric Guitar. After the instrument is showed, there will be four family boxes on the right hand side for the students to identify which family it belong into.

My method is competitive. Since I have an IWB, I load up the powerpoint through that and have the kids race up to the board and put a magnetic button on which family the instrument belongs in. I advance the slide and the box turns green on the correct answer -- I try to time it up perfectly with the kids so they see if they discover the correct answer right at the last second.

You can use this however you wish! No instrument names are given, just pictures, and kids can have a go at it.

This is a long one -- this series has over 200 pages (which means over 100 random order questions). Remember, you can always begin it from the first slide and start over

As always, let me know if you have any questions or comments in the comment field!

Want to engage your competitive 4th and 5th graders (and even some younger grades) towards the end of the year (or any time of year for that matter?) Try on this brand new game "Boom in a FLASH"

In "Boom in a FLASH", students will see one Boomwhacker color appear on the screen (PowerPoint presentation). The student who is holding that Boomwhacker must play the note (on the ground, hand, elbow, desk, whatever have you!), and then they automatically advance to the next slide...

... to another color!

Keep it going, keep reading because... they're being timed! They will have 30 seconds to amass as many notes as they can (timer included) before the time runs out and they look at their high score (which is kept below).

There are 4 "50" score levels in this presentation. All you do as a teacher is start the clock, start the presentation, and manually press the "next slide" button to advance each time they get it correct. Tally up the points at the end for the high score!

You can play this....

• As a grade level (Class vs Class vs Class vs Class vs Class)
• Side A vs Side B
• Boys vs Girls
• Or however you wish!

It sure gets these kids paying attention (because they're held accountable for playing their note when their color is up!).
