The outline for my younger beginner piano students was as follows:-<\/p>\n
Game<\/span><\/strong>: Snap with Bug Flash Cards (found on Susan Paradis’ website) here: Large fly flash cards<\/a>\u00a0and here for the ones on the keyboard: Keyboard Fly Flash Cards<\/a>.\u00a0 We played Concentration\/Memory, and the students used large green fly swatters when they got a match.\u00a0 It was a hoot!\u00a0 I would change one thing though…towards the end we realised my flash cards were see through.\u00a0 Thank goodness the students didn’t cheat at the beginning!\u00a0 Looking back, I would have liked to have also done a Note Swap Race, but we had fun and learned things anyway.\u00a0 Note Swap Race instructions are here: Note Swap Race instructions<\/a><\/p>\n Game<\/span><\/strong>: Cover the Keys Bingo (also found on Susan Paradis’ website) here: Cover the Keys Bingo<\/a>.\u00a0 We used white board markers and laminated game board for this.\u00a0 We played a couple of rounds of this game.\u00a0 If you had students without allergies and who didn’t bounce off the walls with sugar, you could use skittles or M&Ms as markers.<\/p>\n Activity Song<\/span><\/strong>: Dr Knickerbocker (from a CD I have)\u00a0 Students had to pair up and do the actions with me.\u00a0 They giggled LOTS during this song.
