Halloween Games

Even though it is still hitting 100 degrees here in AZ (I heard it is supposed to ‘cool’ down to the 90’s next week), I’m totally ready to start decorating for Halloween. Maybe it’s because I’ve been creating some fun Halloween games and can’t wait to play them with my students! I thought I would share some of my students favorite Halloween games.

Screen Shot 2014-09-21 at 9.01.23 AMWitches’ Brew- A Halloween Composition Game is an interactive composition game where students will roll a dice and spin a letter to determine the rhythm they should use for their Halloween composition. It’s a great way to review note placement on the staff (stems going up/down), time signatures, rhythm, measures… all while creating a fun piece they can call their own!

 

Screen Shot 2014-09-21 at 11.49.54 AMTrick or Treat is a brand new game I added to my store. It is a halloween themed game in “hot potato” style. Students will be earning treats or doing musical tricks in this fun group game!

 

Screen Shot 2014-09-21 at 11.50.36 AMBoo! (A Rhythm Bump It Game). Students will have fun “boo-ing” other players off the board with this Halloween themed rhythm game. Players will roll a dice and find the matching rhythm values to the number rolled. The goal is to “boo!” the other players off the board and be the last ghost standing. Can be played in a small group or between student and teacher.

  1. What a TREAT! I love them all. I think I would have a hauntingly good time playing “Boo” with my 2nd or 3rd graders to reinforce note value. That also would be an awesome game I could leave for a sub plan since it is so beautifully (boooo-tifully?) clearly laid out! p.s. Great blog, btw! 🙂 Thank you for this fun opportunity to win a musical “treat!” “Sing-“cerely, Tina Jones

  2. My First choice would be BOO! They all look great though. I would use it to work with rhythm with a student who is needs extra reinforcement in that area. 🙂

  3. I would love to win one of these games. My students get so excited about Hallowe’en and these games would keep their thoughts on music ideas rather than just costumes and treats.

  4. Everything looks great but I would especially like to win the Halloween composition game because that’s a yearlong focus for my whole studio this year.

  5. Ooh, enter me please! I already follow your TPT store.
    While all the games look great, I think Boo would be a fab one to win. I am having a halloween piano party (and btw, the weather is finally cooling down here in New Delhi and it’s wonderful!) for ages 4-12, and this game looks like it would work well with a mix of ranges and age groups.

  6. You’re making me choose just one?? 🙂 Witches’ Brew would be my first choice just because we are using Teach Piano Today’s composing curriculum right now and it would complement our composing activities very nicely. All three look great!
