Description

Summer version of “Let the Music Games Begin! Winter Games for Elementary Students“! Same game, all new seasonal sports! Fun summer games to use with one student, a group, in the classroom, music camp, and more!

This file contains two complete sets of game cards:

1. A full set of full color cards
2. A full set of partial color ink-friendly cards.

The sets are divided into six “sporting events” and include:

1. 16 cards in each event (that’s 96 cards per set!)
2. One page containing the backs of the cards
3. A soccer game board

Here are the “sporting event” topics:

• Event 1: Improv and charades picture cards {16 cards}
• Event 2: Improv and charades phrase cards {16 cards}
• Event 3: Piano key cards to describe and play {16 cards}
• Event 4: Rhythm cards to perform {16 cards}
• Event 5: Music term cards to define and/or draw {16 cards}
• Event 6: Notes to identify and play {16 cards}

These game cards are suitable for both groups and individual students! There are many possibilities for using them, and here are a few suggestions.

Jeopardy-style game: Use the title pages as the headings and use selected cards as the Jeopardy answers. Students should phrase their answer in the form of a question. To keep score, Assign point values to each question, or give the card to the student who answers correctly.

Using the game board: one die is needed. In this version of the game, students draw a card, then do what the card requires. Students who answer correctly roll the die and move forward on the game board. Students who answer incorrectly do not move their game piece forward.

Flash cards: use the cards as flash cards with a single student or as friendly competition among multiple students.

Storing and Organizing the Game Cards

I love storing these game cards in colorful 4×6 photo boxes like these (affiliate link). They are my favorites because they’re the perfect size, and the colors are vibrant and fun!
