Twister Hopscotch

A few months back, I ran across this game at a local Walmart and because the box was damaged, I got it for 1/2 price!  None of the contents were damaged and it included a mesh bag that holds everything so I didn't need the box anyway!  I altered the spinner included in the game and it has become a HUGE hit in my Pre-Piano camps.  To change it up, I simply put Avery circle labels over the circles on the spinner and added whole, half, dotted half and quarter notes on them. 

The circles come with connectors so you can make any configuration you want!  At the last camp, I put them together in somewhat of a line and the kids moved back and forth through them by matching their moves to the number of beats of the note determined by the spinner.

Here's a couple of my campers (Emily and Reese) working their way through!  I will say that this has turned about to be one of the best ways to help them remember note values!  Learning and movement are a fantastic combination!

By simply using another type of spinner or even a set of flashcards, this would be fun when used to test terminology, note identification, or even the musical alphabet.  There are loads of possiblities!
