Treble Clef Christmas Note Recognition - Bear and Reindeer

Use this printable game to develop strong note recognition skills in the treble clef. Use in instrumental lessons, general music lessons or for students to play at home.

There are two game boards covering different ranges of pitch.

Each game board is included in 2 versions:

1. The deluxe version features a beautiful Christmas bear image
2. The lower-ink version features a cute reindeer

How to use this game

• Place a token for each player on the board.
• Lay the game cards in a pile.
• Players take turns to roll a dice and move their token around the board. The player must identify each note the land on, and say a word starting with that letter which fits the description on the top game card. Each card is used until a player can’t think of a suitable word.
• If a player can’t think of a word that fits, they keep the card, and the next card is used for the next turn.
• The winner is the player with the fewest cards when all cards have been used.

Laminate for extra durability.

Example—a player lands on note B. The description on the card in play is ‘The colour of a warm scarf….’ . The player could say ‘blue’, then it would be the next players turn, using the same game card. If a player lands on note D and cannot think of a colour starting with D, the player keeps that card and the next player takes a turn using the next game card on the pile.

(This game is a variation of other games available from the same author, which include game boards for both the treble and bass clef).
