Reverse Spell-a-Staff Note Name Game

This is the reversed version of the note naming game I posted last week. In this version the player draws music words on blank staff cards.

Game for grand staff note naming practice

Each word card has either a treble clef or bass clef on the back, to designate where the notes should be drawn. If you want a student to just practice on or the other – just tell them to ignore that bit. 😉

Gameplay

For 1 player

  • Set a countdown for 2 minutes.
  • Pick cards at random from the bag and write the word in the space on the card.
  • Write as many words as you can! When the 2 minutes are up double check that the cards are correct, then count them.
  • Try to beat your score next time.

For 2-4 players

  • Set a countdown for 2 minutes.
  • Pick cards at random from the bag and write the word in the space on the card.
  • Write as many words as you can! When the 2 minutes are up double check that the cards are correct, then count them.
  • The player with the most correct cards wins.

Assembly Instructions

  • Download the Reverse Spell-a-Staff pdf.
  • The title page and the instructions page are optional.
  • Pages 3-10 should be printed double sided, so the clefs are on the back of the cards.
  • The final page should be printed lots of times, depending on how many students you want to participate. I recommend 5 copies (that’s 2o cards) per student.
  • Cut apart the cards and you’re ready to go! If you want to reuse the game lots of times, laminate the staff cards and use dry erase markers.

What’s your favourite way to drill note names?

Do you have a favourite game? A note naming app you love? Or perhaps a favourite theory workbook?
