A while back I started instituting this Mystery Song Game idea and it’s been a ton of fun! When a student finishes one of their method books I give them one week to prepare for the game. The following week we take turns with one of us playing a song and the other one turning around or closing their eyes so that they can’t see the book. The one not playing has to guess which song the other one played. I give the student extra points (or balls, dollars, etc. depending on what our incentive program is for the year) if they correctly identify the song I play and if they play a song well enough so that I can identify it. This way they have the potential to earn quite a few points and they are very motivated to do a lot of reviewing that week, which, of course, is the whole point of the game! 🙂
