Description
Race to fill Santa’s sleigh in this fast-paced musical notation game.
Santa has received a lot of questions in the children’s Christmas letters this year. If you can help him answer them, he’ll be able to collect enough presents to fill his sleigh!
Each player draws seven value cards (quavers/eighth notes, crotchets/quarter notes, dotted crotchets/dotted quarter notes, minims/half notes, dotted minims/dotted half notes and semibreves/whole notes) as well as the equivalent rests. The first player to answer Santa’s question correctly, using their cards, wins a present.
Santa’s questions feature filling a bar in 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 time, finding note and rest equivalents, addition and subtraction with musical notes, and balancing a seesaw with equivalent note lengths.
Presents are drawn at random – your younger pupils will love seeing what they get. The winner is either the first person to win x number of presents or the person with the most presents after x minutes have elapsed.
Sleigh Dash will give your students the practice they need to know their note values inside out.
