Grade 1 Music Theory Games and Quizzes

(0)
The Grade 1 Music Theory pack, which is based on the current ABRSM music theory syllabus (2020 onwards), contains 26 games and activities plus 10 music quizzes. The games have been designed to require minimal preparation. Board games can be played immediately after printing. Games cards have straight edges and are accurately lined up so that they can cut quickly.  The games take an average of five minutes to play, meaning they can easily be used within a weekly instrumental lesson. The music quizzes are based on typical exam papers but condensed into one A4 sheet each, making them quicker to complete than full papers and reducing printing costs. Both UK and US terminology has been used where required.

It was an enormous success with the vast majority achieving Distinction Grades. It was largely in thanks to Teaching with Ease’s excellent music games. I set up the “Music Theory Games Arcade” for them every lesson and they really loved it. It gave a really fun thing to look forward to in lessons. “Once the PDFs were downloaded, I could print them and laminate them meaning we can use them time and time again in the build up to their exams.”

Unicorns Forever - Time Signatures

(0)
Harness your unicorns and race them around the board in this magical time signature game. In Unicorns Forever, players are challenged to create matching sets of time signatures and bars using a variety of note and rest cards. The game uses the 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures. Note and rest lengths included are semibreves (whole notes), dotted minims (dotted half notes), minims (half notes), dotted crotchets (dotted quarter notes), crotchets (quarter notes), dotted quavers (dotted eighth notes), quavers (eighth notes) and semiquavers (sixteenth notes). The rhythms have all been made up to whole beats so each note/rest card adds up to one, two, three or four beats. Players move their unicorn one step around the board for each set they create. For the non-unicorn lovers of the world, the game can also be played with just the cards, seeing who can create the most sets in five or 10 minutes.
