I have 23 years experience teaching Pre-K through Grade 8 in public and parochial school districts. I am currently teaching music in a STEM school and use a lot of technology in my music class. I had the honor being selected as Teacher of the Year-STEM Academy 2016.I have an eclectic style of teaching and try to incorporate technology and interdisciplinary studies wherever possible. The games that I create incorporate different subject areas and are interactive in nature.

Musician Memory Game-matching instrument and musician

Musician Memory Game-matching instrument and musician

(0)
This is a matching game, where students will match the instrument with a child playing the same instrument. This will help students recognize classroom rhythm instruments and instruments of the orchestra and how they are played. Students place the cards in 4 rows of four face down. Students take turns turning over two cards at a time trying to match the instrument with the musician playing that instrument. Download the game and print on double sided card stock (borderless) and laminate for best results! When using with young children (K-1) , I suggest splitting the game up into five mini games and putting into ziplock bags. The students then only have to match 8 instruments/musicians at a time. when they complete the first baggie, they switch to a different bag (group of 8 instruments/musicians) I am including a second set of colored cards with colored dots on the back so that you can sort them into the mini games faster. Also included is a black and white set to save on colored ink. I hope your students enjoy them as much as mine did!
