Title - Musical Twister Game Idea
By - Patricia Trader
Primary Subject - Music
Grade Level - K-8

Materials needed:
  • One full or queen size flat sheet;
  • colorful Sharpie pens;
  • index cards (four colors if possible).
Objective:
    To learn/review the names and symbols of notes and rests.
Preparation:
  • Draw four of each note and rest on the sheet (whole, dotted half, half, dotted quarter, quarter, dotted eighth, eighth, and sixteenth). The symbols should be large enough for a hand or foot to be placed on it, and spread out sufficiently to fill the entire sheet. The more colors - the more cheer.
  • Draw the same symbols on the index cards - once for each hand and foot (right and left).
Procedure:
  • Introduce/review the symbols used in the game and identify them on the sheet.
  • Divide the class into four teams, with each team assigned to each side of the sheet.
  • The game is played tag-team style, beginning with one person from each team physically playing the game. Other teammates assist in locating the appropriate symbol. After several rounds, a new player tags into the game.
