Hi All! I decided to have 2 different types of hunts going on last week. I already posted one of the hunts, now I'll share this one. I especially like this version because there's no resetting of the game between lessons and it goes a lot fast.
I purchased a few bags of Autumn decor from Walmart like the ones above but you could probably find these on Amazon. There were 8-10 items per bag. I drew musical terms on each of the items (picture above) and placed sets of them in plastic storage bags. In addition to drawing a term on each of the pieces I wrote down the bag number they belonged to, just in case they were to fall out of their bags and get all mixed up.
I wrote down the list of terms from each bag on a piece of paper so that I could quickly decide which term I wanted each of my students to look for from the bags. I also drew the opposite of the terms on other pieces to make sure they really knew their stuff. Look back at the first picture. I drew a sharp as well as a flat, an interval of a 5th as well as an interval of a 6th, a treble clef as well as a bass clef. I numbered the bags and also wrote down the hiding place. My students would only look for one item per bag per hiding place. This bag from the picture above went with the first clue I read out loud to the students. Down below is a picture of each of the 6 clue cards.
I left out the last word of the rhyme for my older students to figure out. I'd give them about 5 seconds to find the hiding places before I revealed the location. I'd then pick the musical term I wanted them to look for in each bag from the list of items I had written down on a piece of paper. I gave them 10 seconds to find the correct drawing. Placing the pieces in storage bags made them easier to hide.
This pic above is where I hid the first bag; behind the blue scooter.
The hiding places and clues are exactly the same as the other hunt I created but this one covers multiple levels, is quicker, and there's no resetting of the game between lessons!
Next week, my kiddos will be playing "Candy Coordinates" as their Halloween game. Check out that blog I wrote on October 27th back in 2017.
Until next time, piano blogger signing off........
