Description: 44 unique cards; 20 randomised per play Drag and drop the stem to the correct place for the note head on the staff. The rules are: If it's on or above the middle line of the staff, the stem goes down on the left. If the note is below the middle line of the staff, the stem goes up on the right. There are four possible spots (even though two of them will ALWAYS be wrong): Up on the right, up on the left, down on the right, or down on the left. This helps to teach students the correct answers with immediate feedback. There are 44 cards using 11 different pitches without a clef sign, because the stem direction is NOT affected by what clef is used. IMPORTANT: The graphics of the tumbling children does NOT hint or indicate where the stem should go. These are merely colourful additions to keep the game interesting. Complies with audio and visual accessibility, but not with motor accessibility, and is not suitable for iPhones due to the small "drag & drop" elements.
