How to play these Music Reading Music Theory Games

Play Flamingo Flats

While this looks like a checkers game, the movement is slightly different but just as easy.

Students identify how many notes should be flat on the sight-reading cards and move forward accordingly (e.g. 2 notes flat = 2 moves, 4 notes flat = 4 moves).

The flamingo and shrimp game pieces can move forward, sideways, and backwards.

And, of course, can jump the opponent if desired.

Whoever can get all their game pieces to the other side first wins!

Play Scarecrow Scores

In essence, Scarecrow Scores is a very easy game to play.

You roll a die and move your crow game piece forward.

The difficulty lies in knowing how to read the actual score (which, we include a move guide in case you as the teacher need a refresher).

If the student rolls a 3, they move forward 3 measures. If they roll a 6, they move forward 6 measures.

If they reach a repeat sign, they have to return to the beginning (or to a forward-facing repeat sign, if you added that).

Whoever reaches the final bar line first wins!

There are literally dozens of ways to play this game and your students will never be confused with score reading again!
