Update: Candy Cup Throw

Hi All!  The Valentine's Day game was a huge success last week!  After observing my students of all ages play this game, here are the rules I settled on:

-Total game time 5 minutes
-Children up to 8 years of age will throw hearts in the first 6 cups
  -every 2 cups equals one prize sheet sticker
-Children older than 8 years of age can throw hearts in all 10 cups
  -1st 3 cups equals a sticker, next 4 another sticker, and the last 3 one final sticker
-They must pitch hearts in sequential order (cup 1, then 2, 3, etc.)
-If a heart lands in a cup out of sequence it will count if/when they get to it
-Get a heart in the targeted cup, answer the question correctly, move onto the next cup

Ideas for questions:
-show pictures of musical terms for students to identify
-have them roll the dice from my "note rollers" blog and locate notes on the piano
-have students solve musical math problems drawn on index cards
  Ex. (Dotted half note x whole) + half note=

Until next time......
