Music Symbol Centers

The 5th graders have been studying all of the music symbols from our classroom rug. They need to be able to identify each symbol and explain what it means. To help us practice, we did Music Symbol Stations. There were 4 stations: Symbol Sorry, Symbol Race, Swat the Symbol, and Music Symbol Bingo. Here are some pictures of the kids playing the games at each station.
 
Music Symbol Bingo:
The students create their own cards first.

Symbol Sorry:
Much like the board game Sorry!, only they have to name the music symbol they land on.

Swat the Symbol:
A caller calls out the name of a symbol and the students race to swat it on the board with flyswatters.

Symbol Race:
Students race to see who can correctly identify the most symbols. They place a marker on each square they answer correctly. The person with the most markers wins.
