Show Us the Music: Four Cooperative Games for the Music Classroom

Grades 2-6 * If your students enjoy game shows, they'll love these music activities inspired by various popular games. There's "Tic, Tac, Trueor Not?," an interactive tic-tac-toe game; "That's Your Cue," where partners help their teammates guess terms and music words; "Music Sketches and Scribbles," a create-your-own-picture-puzzles guessing game; and a quiz-style game where the questions get progressively harder called "Who Wants to Be a Virtuoso?" Directions for each game are included, along with suggestions for adapting them for various classroom settings. A bank of questions organized by topic, type and difficulty is also provided. Most may be used to play any of the games allowing for maximum flexibility of use and making this a great budget-stretching resource. Students are sure to enjoy their turn in the hot seat as they echo rhythms, identify music styles, explore eras, and much, much more!
