How to Play Shrimp Sharps Music Sight-Reading Theory Game

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

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