I call it the Easter Egg True/False Cup Game. I found adhesive bunnies from the "Dollar Tree" and stuck them to the front of these plastic cups that I turned upside down (see the picture above). I splurged on colorful spring time cups but plain white ones would do just fine. I purchased the yellow plastic table cover from the "Dollar Tree" as well.
Then I sectioned off the cups into a grid simply by drawing it directly on the table cover. I numbered the sections as well as the cups (see picture below), and placed a plastic Easter egg in either the "true" cup or the "false" cup for each pair by adhering the egg to the inside of the cup with a glue gun. You could probably just tape the eggs to the inside of the cups.
I then created game sheets for my students based on their piano levels. The two pictures below shows the front and back of one of the game sheets, as an example. Notice that for number 1, the staff note and the location of the dot on the piano key picture don't match, so number 1 is false.
Their goal is to pick up the correct cup (either the true cup or the false cup) in each of the ten sections within a certain amount of time. If they pick the correct cup they'll see an egg adhered to the inside of it. The wrong cup will be empty.
They're going to match the number on their game sheet to the pair of cups in the corresonding spaces on the table. If they ace the game they will receive an egg with a small prize inside.
It's a wonderful motivator and I LOVE seeing how excited they get to play these games.
If you're interested in making this game and would like me to send you pdf copies of my game sheets, email me (Ms. Daphne) @ daphnepianostudio@yahoo.com. I'll be more than happy to share them with you. I'd also love to hear how it goes so please leave a comment below! Happy Easter. 🐇
