Penni’s Shamrock Board Game

Enjoy this cute St. Patrick’s Day Themed Board Game to reinforce chords, scales keys, rhythm (and more…!) Help Penni the Penguin get to her friends Peanut and Polar Bear Junior! 

Game Directions:

If students land on a shamrock that has a chord symbol, they must correctly play that chord*. If students land on a shamrock that has a rhythm symbol, they must correctly play,  clap or tap a rhythm strip card. If students land on a four leaf clover, they must complete the task of a four leaf clover card! If students land on the repeat sign, the go back to the start. The first one to help Penni reach her friends wins!

*You may adapt the game to the student’s level. If chords are too easy, you can have them play a scale, or write out key signatures… Rhythm cards can be more complex to match your student’s level. Use the blank cards to adapt it even more!
