They then focus on finding the different notes on the piano keyboard before moving on to reading their first notes on the staff.<\/p>\n<p>Note identification games use five-finger positions surrounding middle C (treble clef C4-G4 and bass clef F3-C4) and also from the C below middle C (bass clef C3-G3) so you can select the hand position on which your method book focuses. Note length games use crotchets, minims, dotted minims and semibreves (quarter notes, half notes, dotted half notes and whole notes).<\/p>\n<p>The games have been designed to require minimal preparation and not to use excessive ink. Board games can be played immediately after printing. Games cards have straight edges and are accurately lined up so that they can be cut quickly. The games take an average of five minutes to play, meaning they can easily be used within a weekly instrumental lesson.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t usually use games in your lessons, read about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/teachingwithease.co.uk\/games-with-younger-children\">how to use games with younger children.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contents:<\/p>\n<p>Exploring first sounds<br \/>\n&#8211; Talking Animals<br \/>\n&#8211; Sound Machine<\/p>\n<p>Higher and lower<br \/>\n&#8211; Climb and Slide<br \/>\n&#8211; Coin Flip<br \/>\n&#8211; Firefighting<br \/>\n&#8211; Honey Bee-licious<\/p>\n<p>Letters of the keys<br \/>\n&#8211; Find That Note<br \/>\n&#8211; Musical Notes Bingo<br \/>\n&#8211; Snakes and Pianos<br \/>\n&#8211; What the Unicorn Said<\/p>\n<p>Notes on the staff for five finger piano<br \/>\n&#8211; Ah Hoy Pirates<br \/>\n&#8211; Colour Me Crazy<br \/>\n&#8211; Dominoes<br \/>\n&#8211; Quack Quack Ducklings<br \/>\n&#8211; Unicorns and Ogres<\/p>\n<p>Note lengths<br \/>\n&#8211; Whatever The Weather!<br \/>\n&#8211; Colour Me Crazy<br \/>\n&#8211; Piggy Pairs<br \/>\n&#8211; Sea Life Explorer<br \/>\n&#8211; Colour Catcher<br \/>\n&#8211; Floral Fantasy<\/p>\n<p>Plus a Notes Guide Sheet to remind students of the note letters and note lengths.
