tune travels board game (set one)

These board games feature only one subject at a time, allowing a teacher to really focus attention on a particular musical concept.
The easy version of the games plays like Bingo with the teacher, and later a student, as the caller. They take about 20 minutes to play.
The advanced version involves students choosing command cards and moving markers around the board until they have covered all the squares on their board. It takes about 1/2 hour to play.
Each set includes command cards, blank cover cards and colourful markers to be printed and cut out.
I have used these games for many years and found that students benefitted greatly from the opportunity to focus on and practice one particular concept. Before long and almost without realizing it, they have learned it!
