Test your piano students' music theory with these summer-themed music games!

This bundle contains 6 no-prep, dice-based music games plus a bonus improv activity.

WHAT IS IT?

6 games that just need downloading and printing. No cutting, folding, or gluing (and laminating is optional!)
One improv activity that uses dice, the piano, and your students' imagination
All you need are
- Two dice (or a spinner or Google dice - yup, you can just Google 'Dice' and use that!)
- Playing pieces (one for each player)
- Counters (there are printable ones you can cut out and use, or you can source your own - you can use anything from buttons to candies!)

This one bundle covers many different musical theory topics:

THE GAMES ARE:

1. Shake It Up
This game turns rhythm drilling into a race to fill up your milkshake fridge.

Roll two dice to find a box on the grid.
Clap the rhythm in the grid, then check your milkshake fridge to see if you've got a flavour that matches the rhythm. If you do, cover it up!
Watch out for the Capyshaker - if your dice roll leads to him, you have to remove a counter from your fridge!

Two levels of difficulty:

Level one features crotchets, two quavers, four semiquavers, minims (quarter note, two eighth notes, four sixteenth notes, half notes)
Level two features two quavers, quaver + two semiquavers, two semiquavers + quaver, crotchets

(two eighth notes, eighth note + two sixteenth notes, two sixteenth notes + eighth note, quarter notes)

2. DOLPHINS AND JELLYFISH

Reinforce dynamics in a way that doesn't feel repetitive.

Roll two dice to find a box on the grid
Identify the dynamic in the box and move to the next matching space on the board.
Land on a leaping dolphin to jump to a higher space. Land on a jellyfish and slide down to a lower space.
First to the end is the winner.

3. ICE CREAM PINCHER

Reinforce note and rest values through repeated counting (I'd say it's low-pressure but at any point, your ice creams might get pinched!)

Roll the dice to find a box on the grid
Identify the note or rest value
Place that many ice cream tokens on your board
If your last token is placed on top of a crab, you have to remove all ice creams until you reach the previous crab!
The first to fill their board is the winner

4. 3 BIRDS IN A ROW

Test students' note-reading skills in a more interesting way than just holding up flashcards.

Treble clef and bass clef boards included.

5. GONE CAMPIN'

Drill piano keys, treble clef notes, or bass clef notes (or swap between all three!)

Roll the dice and find the box on the board (you may have noticed by now, there's a lot of rolling dice to find notes. Students love rolling dice!)
Identify the note in the box
Move to the next matching space on the board.
Camping animals along the way will send you forward, back, give you extra turns, or cause you to miss a turn
The first to the end is the winner!

6. SUNNY INTERVALS

Reinforce intervals in an interesting way that students won't find repetitive.

Roll the dice to move around the sun board.
Land on an interval space and find that matching interval on the sunny grid. Cover it up with a token.
Land on a rainy cloud and you have to lose a token from the sunny grid.
Land on a sunglasses-wearing sun and you get a bonus token!
The first to get three tokens in a row on the sunny grid is the winner.

BONUS ROLLY IMPROV (SUMMER)

An improvisation activity with prompts guaranteed to make your students laugh and get creative!

Roll the dice to get a character.
Roll again to get an emotion.
Roll once more to get an activity.
Create an improvisation that brings them all together
(you could get something like "The tired octopus enters a volleyball tournament"!)

These games are perfect for when you want a game but don't want to do any extra prep!
