Description
22 unique cards; all cards are randomised per play Change a stemless black note head into a crotchet (quarter note) or a stemless white notehead into a minim (half note) by selecting one of four choices: 1. up on the right, 2. up on the left, 3. down on the right, 4. down on the left. The choices randomise on every card for every play. 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 choices on every card, even though two of them will ALWAYS be wrong. This helps to teach students the correct answers with immediate feedback. There are 22 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, visual, and motor accessibility, and can be played on any device, including iPhones.
