More About these Games and Activities for Treble Clef and Bass Clef

These music spelling bee music note reading games give beginning through advancing piano students a terrific way to review.

Includes white piano keys through treble and bass clef notes of the grand staff, up to 3 ledger lines above and below the staff.

Music spelling words created from the letters of the music alphabet are shown on each card: ACE, FADE, BEAD, DEEDED, and DECADE, for example.

Students figure out the word, roll the dice, and move forward on the game board. The first student to reach the beehive wins!

Use these music spelling bee games instead of traditional music notes flash cards to drill and review treble and bass clef notes in an engaging way that students love.

Your piano students will have tons of fun in piano lessons while becoming more confident in their ability to identify piano keys and notes of the grand staff!

How to Play the Music Spelling Bee Activities for Treble Clef and Bass Clef

1. Print the pages you need onto white card stock and cut out the cards. Laminate if you like.

4. Draw a music spelling word card.

   1. The student can either say the letters to figure out the word or write down the word.

6. The student rolls the dice and moves forward on the game board. I usually use a single die to make the game last just a little longer. 
7. The first person to reach the beehive or the finish line wins!
