jellybean note game
i play a note on the piano, and the student finds the corresponding placement on the grand staff using a jellybean of their choice to represent the notehead. if they are correct, they get to eat their note.

students love playing this game, however they’re not so excited when they accidentally eat a popcorn or jalapeno-flavored jellybean.


music theory treasure hunt
at Collegiate school this week, we are doing some theory challenges that lead to hidden clues, and the clues lead to a treasure map, and the map leads to a treasure! the challenges include naming notes, clapping rhythms precisely, and determining note values.
