Music Olympics

By Mark Burrows

Movement activities and active games.

These games reinforce music skills including rhythm, pitch, dynamics, instruments, note-reading, music history and more. With Olympics in mind, these music games are designed to get students up and moving, running, jumping, laughing, and learning!Many of the games offer options for older and younger students, as well as competitive and cooperative versions of the same game. A mixed-media CD and many reproducibles are also included. The CD can be played on a CD player, but it also contains the flashcards and other reproducibles to use with the actitivies. Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to open the files.
