I created a fall theme game board that can be used for piano key identification or note identification. You will need game pegs, and flashcards. Whoever reaches the end of the board first is the winner! Students often beat me, which is fun for them. With beginning students I usually help them if they are having trouble with identifying a key or note, but if you wanted to make it more challenging you could say the rules are that if you miss a key or note the student has to go back a three spaces (or start over if you are playing with older students).

I also created a beginner rhythm skill builder. Students should be able to complete the incomplete measures, and then verbally clap and count each line. Notice the last line of each page is blank, so the student can make up their own rhythm pattern.
