I just shared a couple fun games that I have done with my students on a piano teacher forum and thought I would share them here as well. These are a couple of my students favorite games that we have done. The great thing about both of these is you can adapt them for anytime of the year. Here they are Christmas style…
It is so fun, students really love it and it’s fun for all ages! We played this game for group lessons a few months ago using the word “Safari” and each student had an animal game. (This goes along with our theme this year). It was a blast.
Another fun one is Musical I Spy. How I do it is someone is sent from the room while a small object is hidden. Then they are called back in and the kids start singing a Christmas song. They get louder the closer the person is to the object and softer the farther away. Again, this is perfect for all ages. I’ve done this game for Christmas camp in the past and they really enjoy it.

The Musical I-Spy game sounds hysterical. It’s amazing how many of my students are not really big into singing (something I am always trying to encourage), and I think the game element might actually make them more feel more comfortable doing it.
My students love playing fruit basket. We frequently play it right before they play their pieces. They are so happy, relaxed and excited by the time we finish that they forget to be nervous. : )
