Cover The Keys Game

(SP583)

Level: Early Elementary

Type: Games

Sub-type: Music Reading

This is a very simple game for students just learning the names of the notes (keys, to be precise) on the keyboard.  You call out a note and the student covers it with a token. Later, you can also make the game more challenging by using flashcards with the notes on a staff. Two keys are repeated on each card, so tell your students to look for that. There are 6 cards in all to use with a group, or you can play with just one student. Posted below are some alphabet cards to use as tokens. Be sure and print in Landscape because there are 2 cards to a page.
