£3.00
A multiplayer Music Theory Game for up to 8 players. Designed to help students remember the meaning of musical terms and symbols.
Description
Use this multiplayer game to help your students remember musical terms and symbols.
Play as a teacher-student pair, or in as a group game for up to 8 players.
As students describe the words (or symbols) on their cards, gaps in understanding will quickly become apparent!
Before playing
- Print and cut out the cards. Laminate, if required, for extra durability
- Divide the group into teams of 2 players
- Shuffle the cards and place them in a pile, face down on the gameboard
- Set a timer for 1 minute
How to play as a group
- The first team: Player A takes a card off the top of the pile without showing it to Player B. Player A must describe the meaning of word on the card, without saying (or spelling) it
- Player B should guess the word on the card. When they have correctly guessed, the team keep the card, and Player A takes another card off the pile to describe
- If Player B cannot correctly guess the word on the card, Player A may place it face down at the bottom of the pile
- When the minute is over, the next team take their turn
- When all teams have had a turn, the team with the highest number of correctly guessed cards is the winning team!
How to play as a teacher and pupil
- Take turns to take a card from the pile, and describe the meaning of the word on the card for the other player to guess
- See how many cards the players can correctly guess in 1 minute (working together, to guess the musical terms as a team)
