Music Games and Worksheets Galore!
If you have not been to D’Net’s site lately, you have got to head right over there! She has been working up a storm designing a bunch of new games and worksheets and has them all posted and available for free download on her games page! I’ve been printing like crazy (now my printer is having issues, so I’m sending the rest to our local printer to have them printed for me) and can hardly wait to use these great new teaching materials.
I’m really excited about these Finger Number Cards that are designed as a pre-reading sight-reading sort-of worksheet. I’m getting ready to start a big sight-reading challenge and have just been wondering what to use for my students that aren’t playing on the staff yet. These will be perfect!
You’ll also want to print all 30 of these wonderful Interval Cards to help reinforce intervallic reading with your students.
And definitely don’t miss these Tic-Tac-Toe Cards that you can use to help your students get really good at identifying notes on the staff. She has different variations of the cards for different ranges of notes.
What a treasure trove D’Net has made available!

Hi Natalie,
Do you know how the TTT works? I asked Dnet about it, but she wasn’t sure about my question. I thought it works like this : one person play O and the other X, and the first got all 3 in a row, column or diagonal wins. So, how does this work with these notes on the card? Could you email me if you could me? Thanks!

Hi Lydia!
I see two ways it could potentially work. I’ve tried the first one already:
1. Basically like BINGO - I call out a note name and the student places their marker on the appropriate square. The first to get a Tic-Tac-Toe wins. We also went until the card was covered.
2. Two students at a time could play - I would hold up a flashcard with a note on a staff. The first to identify it correctly gets to draw a tic-tac-toe card from the pile. They can then place their marker on the corresponding note on the card. Continue until one of the players makes a tic-tac-toe. If I wanted to just use it during one student’s lessons, I would alter it so that if they got the note named correctly they would get to place their marker, but if they were wrong I would get to place a marker.
Hopefully this makes sense!

Hi Naalie,
Thanks for the explanation. Re: 2. for two people, it still seems that it’d be impossible to make 3 in a row marker. I’ll have to think this through. Thanks.

Lydia~
Maybe instead of having to place the marker according to what card they draw, they could select whichever square they want, name the note and then place their marker on that square. Then you’d have more chance of getting the tic-tac-toe? You’ll have to let me know if you come up with any other ideas…

Hi Natalie,
I didn’t realize that players need to draw cards. Hmmm, I guess this is not meant to play as the regular TTT game. However, if you look at the first game of the landmark C TTT, you will notice that there is only one way to win. So, if one player gets blocked, not sure how the game can continue. I’ll have to think about how to play this. Thanks!
