Reinforce note reading with your students

I recently invited my general music students in grades 3-5 to play the music note memory game in class and it was a big hit. It took about 12 minutes of class time and they enjoyed it while reinforcing note reading in a fun, collaborative way. I printed 8 game sheets out in color and stamped each square on the back with a smiley face so the students could arrange them on the floor right side up while preparing for the game. I then laminated the sheets, cut them into squares and put them in separate containers. It took only about 30 minutes of prep time after asking our school secretary to laminate the sheets.

I had eight containers of game pieces so there would be at most 3 students playing together. The memory game sheets can be found in a music activity worksheet packet for $5 at the following link. Included in the activity packet are other games and activites to reinforce more note reading, solfege singing and rhythm reading. I was so pleased at how much the students enjoyed this simple music variation to the classic memory game.
