Step 1: Whole Note

Gather your students in a circle around you. Place the paper piano in front of you so the plain white side is facing up. Your students need to be close enough to reach the paper piano. Hide the 15 puzzle pieces between your legs if you are sitting on the floor or under something if you're sitting at a table. This helps your students focus on what you want them to look at during the game.

 

 

Move the blue jello rhythm puzzle behind you so it's out of sight.

Whole Note: Place a whole note on the paper piano in front of the students and say “whole note”. Motion for them to say “whole note” with you. “Very good.”
