Learning notes on the bass stave can be tricky for students who have spent years reading only treble clef! These note cards are ideal for engaging your students in music theory! Printable, reusable and multi-purpose: use them for 8 different games. Solo, pair or group activities, theory review, fast finishers, ice-breakers, and even mini compositions!

What’s included?
30 Bass Clef Note Cards: Each card displays a bass clef note (from E to C, covering ledger lines) and varied note values (semiquaver-semibreve including dotted notes).
Four distinct designs, including a printer-budget-friendly black-and-white option.
8 Game Instruction Cards: Each game card introduces a unique activity that uses the note cards, with straightforward directions for seamless classroom integration.

Why do students love these? The games are age-appropriate & engaging: these games are crafted to appeal to 11-13 year olds but are also adaptable for older beginners or younger students ready for a challenge. Any music teacher knows that finding activities that this age group will participate in can be a challenge! Striking a balance of fun but not childish, and with designs that are attractive but not overly cutesy, your students can enjoy some games and puzzles in their music theory work.

Why to teachers love them?
Having a range of games printed and ready-to-go is a must in my music classroom. I keep them in a plastic wallet on my desk, ready to pull out when I need an extra activity, brain break or no-prep task for fast finishers. I also use them in a more structured way within my curriculum throughout the year as they are so versatile. If you, like me, teach multiple age groups or classes, you’ll be delighted to know that you can use the cards with all your classes!
