This game involves physical activity while reinforcing the notes of the treble clef. Prepare the game by making a treble clef on the floor with masking tape. An adequate size for the clef is about 3 to 4 feet long by 2 to 3 feet wide. You also need to write the notes of the treble clef on index cards (one note per card). Next, divide the class into teams if you want to add the fun of competition to this game. Each team gets a bean bag. The first player takes a turn by drawing a card and throwing the bean bag with the intent of landing it on the correct line or space. If the bean bag hits the right area, the team gets five points. If the bean bag hits another line or space and the player can correctly identify that note, her team gets three points. The first team to get a certain amount of points wins.
This is an active, exciting game for learning the treble clef. Divide the class into two teams, with each team lined up in a single-file line. Give the first player in line for each team a fly swatter. Next draw a treble clef on the board and review the lines and spaces. Continue by drawing in various notes in random order so that each note of the treble clef is represented. Make sure they aren't in order, though, which will make the game more challenging. Call out a note and yell, "GO!" The two players with fly swatters must race to the board and be the first to swat the correct note to score a point for their team. Continue until everyone has had at least one turn.
This game will have your class twisting, laughing and learning all at once. Construct a treble clef on the floor with masking tape such as the one described in the bean bag toss game. Choose three or four students to play at a time. Call out a child's name and give him a directive such as: "Right hand, F." The student must then put the appropriate hand on the correct space without falling. The person who can hold out the longest (correct placement and not falling) wins. You can repeat this until all the students have participated and have a final match for the winners of each smaller group.
