Bag Toss Music Games

During the music notation unit, one of the activities I use is a bag toss activity. I have the five line staff on the floor and students have to toss a bag on the correct line or space. Students are divided in groups and each group challenges the other group by asking them to toss the bag on a specific note space or line.
I also used the staff on the floor with paper plates and the note letter name on each plate to create different words. Example is the word EGG, you can put the plates on the correct line or space with the correct letter name (you must have at least two sets of plates with the seven letter names).

One of the activities I use during the rhythm unit is a bag toss board game. I use two board with different note values written on them. Next to the note value, I have a whole for the bag to go through. Students try to hit the note with the highest value. Each student gets to toss the bag twice, then she/he adds the value of the notes and that counts for their points. If you want to make it more challenging, you can have them score four beats for a point. This way each player will have to count and figure out how many beats day need. If they score more than four beats, they will have to start over and not earn a point.
