This can be easily edited, added to etc. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

A 'Call My Bluff' of Buckley key terms - there are three definitions of certain key terms in Grace. Pupils work out which is the best fit. There are some definitions that pupils can discount straight away; e.g. EQ is not ET's cousin. Other key terms can be used. Useful for a starter for Grace and could be used for a revision aid if the options are harder to discern the difference between.

This is a fun game as part of the end of a lesson or start to look at composers with KS3.

Others include Liszt, Chopin, Oasis, Jessie J, Britney Spears and Black Eyed Peas. Any feedback you have or other musicians I could add in would be great, thanks!
