I made a rhythm matching/concentration game that was pretty successful with my students. Treble Clef Baseball went well, too. You tape up a baseball diamond (square green paper) on the board and make four magnetic batters for each team. I used electrical or masking tape to make a staff on the board and had five or six foam circles with magnets on the back as my easily moveable notes. Each student comes up and says if they want a single, double, triple, or home run. A single is one note, double two, triple three, and home run spells a four or five letter word. The trick is that no matter what they choose, they only get 30 seconds to figure it out. If the student gets the answer right, their batter moves the appropriate number of bases and anyone already on a base moves that number as well (ex - one player on 2nd, batter gets a single then now there's one player on 1st, one on 3rd). Once a player crosses home plate, the team gets a point. If the students gets it wrong, their team gets a strike (or out) and the other team gets a chance to steal for a point. My kids (3rd through 6th grade) really enjoy this game for reviewing the treble clef!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222078965326130968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549738547273185640.post-44539488388441801172013-01-07T00:32:02.978-06:002013-01-07T00:32:02.978-06:00Super idea.

I remember those moments of standing in the doorway to the closet thinking how am I ever going to be ready. Don't worry, my Mom still reminds me that there is a reason for everything. I'm sure those children will have an amazing first week because they have you as their teacher. The fact that you are so concerned proves that. <br /><br />Take a deep breathe and relax,this too shall pass! :)Mrs. Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625060079609686780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549738547273185640.post-91237244806144074352012-08-10T12:14:58.350-05:002012-08-10T12:14:58.350-05:00Good luck!

I also asked the kids for songs they wanted to play.
