Musical Headbanz really tests your knowledge! Students get to interact with one another and work together to help each other figure out what is on their head. Yep, this is the game to really help students get it in (or at least on) their head! 🙂
Level: Beginner to Advanced
Objective: To review any musical terms or symbols
Materials:
- Headbands (such as these headbands)
- Note cards with musical terms & symbols on them.
Players needed: works best with 2 or more players
Game Set-up:
Each player puts a headband around their forehead. Without looking, they place a card on their forward and holds it in place with the headband.
Game Play:
Each player helps the other ones figure out the word or symbol on their forehead by giving them hints or clues. #1 Rule is to not say the word on the card. It can be described or demonstrated, but not said.
This can be a quick moving game as you replace cards as soon as they figure out the word on their forehead. Finish off the deck of cards and the game is complete!
I love how this game helps them learn new ways of describing terms. It exposes them to terms or symbols they may not use very often as well. It gives them an opportunity to work together as a team and to think of new ways to describe a musical term or concept.
