The Pumpkin Patch – an Autumn Game

Click here to see this in the store.

I love pumpkins and so do students. Today’s activity has a pumpkin theme so you can use it now and all the way up to Thanksgiving.

This activity works great as a file folder note matching game. The hardest part is cutting out the pumpkin cards. If  you have trouble cutting small items, I also added some cutting lines so that you can cut out squares instead of cutting around the tiny pumpkin stem.

There are 5 pages, including a page for the bass clef notes, a page for the treble clef notes, 2 pages of pumpkin flash cards, and a page of keyboard cards.

I made this game so my students would have another seasonal way to practice identifying the treble and bass clef, as well as learning the names of notes. I like to keep my elementary  students  enthused about piano lessons by having different activities. And they often learn something new. In this set, there is a high treble G and the bass clef D, something that was new to some of my early level students. However, I suggest you pull these cards if you don’t want to use them.

Objectives

• To quickly recognize the treble and bass clef
• To reinforce names of notes on the treble and bass staves
• To play a seasonal activity
