"Follow the Musical Notes"

I am always on the look out for fun games that also teach.  Last month I came across Letter Treasure Maps on Reading Confetti and I knew this would be a great way to reinforce musical notes to beginning music students.

I started out by creating pathways using colored circle stickers.  Then I drew one kind of note from the "Start" sticker to the "You Win" sticker.  I filled in the other circles with different types of notes.

I made 4 different maps:
Quarter Notes
Half Notes
Dotted Half Notes
Whole Notes

These treasure maps are for all my students to use so instead of using a pencil, the students use a little heart eraser  to move along the pathway.

This game teaches note recognition in a fun, easy way.

      Thanks Carolyn. My students really enjoyed playing it this week. So easy and yet they liked it! Some even made sound effects as they made the heart follow the trail!

    I love how you took that idea and fitted it for your subject area. I also loved those maps but I didn't think at the time about adapting them. Now I have so many math ideas running through my head!!!

      A math treasure hunt would be great! It really helps with the visual. You'll have to share your creations!

    Many guitar players try to enhance their musical creativity skills by searching the music of their favorite bands for cool riffs and guitar ideas and playing them over and over. https://spotipromo.com

    But now it’s seeping out of marketing and corporate lingo and into the general vernacular. And the repercussions are more than just a blow to the vocabulary. My Music Viral
