Christmas Music Note Value Snowman Game

Use this game to improve recognition of note values

In addition to the downloadable files you will need:

• A dice
• 7 tokens per player (counters, coins or small toys etc)

Rules of the game:

• Players take turn to roll a dice
• All measures on the board contain either 3 or 4 quarter beats. If a player rolls a 3 or 4 they may place a token on a measure with that number of beats
• If a player rolls 1, 2, 5 or 6 they cannot place a token on that turn.
• When all measures are covered with a token, the player with the most tokens on the board is the winner.

Two versions of the game are included - the US version uses the terminology ‘measure’ and ‘quarter note’. The UK version uses the terms ‘bar’ and ‘crotchet’. Otherwise the versions are the same.

Play with a friend to see who can place the most tokens on the stars, or play against the dice - how many measures can you cover in 10 rolls of the dice?
