Scarecrow Stomp Game

 

Click here to for Scarecrow Stomp in the store.

What do musical little scarecrows do when they get tired of chasing away crows? Well they stomp the acorn notes scattered over the field, or course! Well, at least in my imagination that’s what they do. This is a yet another version of my favorite game, and of course I made new cards, this time the autumn version of the Card of Doom game.

It’s kind of nostalgic, because I doubt few kids in the suburbs know what it’s like to bale hay. I have a lot of readers who DO live on a farm, plus a lot who have all these memories in their head. I know I do, and there is nothing like autumn on the farm.

The nice thing about fall activities is they can be used all the way through Thanksgiving. This is a good game for students who don’t celebrate Halloween. There is no Card of Doom, but there is a terrible card. Literally, it’s The Terrible Card!

The updated file contains 11 pages:

  • The game board.
  • The optional colorful back.
  • Three pages of grand staff cards.
  • Two pages of ledger line cards.
  • Piano keyboard cards.
  • Fun directional cards, including The Terrible Card.
  • A Terrible Card poster to be put on your door.
  • One page of instructions.

Objectives

  • To reinforce or learn note names on the staff
  • To learn the word “octave.”

      Have you checked the FAQ? Without more information I can’t help you. Be sure to save the file before you try to print it. Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader.

  4. Susan – Thank you for this wonderful autumn game. The art work is fantastic. It is great for my studio since it is fall centered and not Halloween (I have several students that do not participate and I don’t care for it either ). I really like the flexibility to do just a few staff cards and also the keyboard cards and love the “fun” cards!!! Thanks again!!

    Thanks, Susan, for yet another version of finding notes on the staff. These games work out great for a quick activity in the lesson.

    I’ve played every game around to help a student who can’t seem to learn her notes. Thanks for giving me fresh material!

    1. Susan Paradis says:

      You’re welcome, Robbin. We have to keep trying. Some children seem to take forever. Then some know the notes on worksheets or flashcards,but can play the on the page!
