Put your music students' note-reading skills to the test with this trio of nutcracker-themed music games!
 
WHAT IS IT? 
 
1. Gingerbread Race
Be the first to reach the gingerbread house in the middle of the board.

2. Dance or Scurry?
 
Everyone races to be the first to reach the Christmas tree. If you land on the ballerina, you can dance forward, but if you land on mice, you have to scurry backward. 
 
3. Nutcracker March
Who will be the first to race around the board? Choose your route - the nutcracker route or the Mouse King route. One route is quicker but has more 'evil' spaces. Which will you choose?
 
4. Nutcracker Question Cards
Each Nutcracker game can be played with any question card set. 
 
All you need is:
The set of question cards 
The matching piano grid 
 
So if you have a student needing to work on treble clef notes, you can play all three games using just the treble clef notes. 
 
But if you have a group of students where one needs to work on bass clef notes and two need to work on sharps and flats, you can give the students the question cards/piano grids that you want them to work on!
