Musical Checkers: a music vocabulary board game

Do your students struggle to remember common musical terms? This musical version of checkers helps students learn and name up to 72 musical terms in a fun, engaging way.

The game is simple- it uses standard checkers rules with a twist! When you land on a space, you pick up a card from the matching treble clef or bass clef pile.

This game is ideal for two players, and can be played during a lesson or as a center. You can adapt it for multiple players if you divide them into two teams and alternate who moves. The game is easy to adapt for any student level!
