Musical games teach young children is similar to Wheel of Fortune, but helps you teach young kids about musical notes and concepts.
The best thing about musical games teach young children, is you can make it as easy or as hard as you want to. The choice is up to you! With a little bit of preparation, this musical game can be played over and over again whenever the mood hits you. So have fun and happy learning!
Materials Needed:
A bag to draw cards out of
A set of cards cut to be the same size (you can use construction paper) On each card you will draw a different musical note. On two of the cards you write the word "Bankrupt"
Note: Make more quarter note cards than whole notes
Instructions:
Before playing the game you should choose some of the songs that the children have been singing in music. Have a list ready.
On a blackboard or piece of paper you would put a space for each letter in the title of the song. (Just like in Wheel of Fortune)
Divide the children into two or three teams.
Choose a team to go first.
Let the first child pull a card from the bag.
If he/she can tell you how many beats it gets then he/she gets double the value for each letter in the word. If they do not know then they get face value.
You would then put the letter in the correct place on the chalkboard or paper.
Then ask them if they know the song, if they can name it, their team wins and they get their total points, If not they keep their points and play goes to the next team. It is just like Wheel of Fortune.
The team can hold their points but if they don't solve a puzzle the points don't count.
If a player pulls a bankrupt then all the points their team has accumulated is lost. Unless they have solved a puzzle. Those points are safe.
Variation: Depending on the songs and your lessons- this game can be tailored to the musical skill level of the child. Feel free to experiment however you see fit.So if you are looking for musical games teach young children, then this ones for you.
