How to Play the Winter Snowman Grand Staff Note Reading Game

• Students roll the dice to see who goes first. The lowest number goes first.
• The first student draws a card.
• The student identifies the notes and says the word that the notes spell. The student can write the letters onto their score card if desired.
• If the student gets the correct answer, the student rolls the dice and moves their game piece forward.
• If the answer is incorrect, the student doesn’t move forward (or moves backward to make it more interesting!)
• The first person to reach the end wins!
