4. Add it Up
Create your own music dice and play this simple Add it Up game. Here’s how you can create your own music dice:
Get some blank wooden cubes (I got mine from Dollarama, but you can get them on Amazon too) and draw musical symbols on them with a black Sharpie marker.
Tip: Use different colour dice to differentiate between grades. For example, my orange dice are geared towards grade 1 and 2 students, and the yellow dice are better suited for my grade 3 students.
How to Play
Each student rolls the music dice for each note they get, and records the number of beats on a piece of paper. Students continue adding up note values, and the first student to 20 points wins.
