Easter Chick Musical "Beetle Drive"

Race to draw your Easter chick first in this seasonal note recognition game.

Each card shows a musical note on the stave, which players identify to discover the linking body part. For example, when a B is shown, the player draws the head. The winner is the first player to draw a complete chick or, if you decide to play a timed game, the player who has drawn the most body parts when the time is up. The game includes card sets for the treble, bass, alto and tenor clefs. Simply choose which cards you wish to use.
