This interactive orchestra instruments families game for elementary music game show will energize your music classroom! Divide your students into teams and let the fun begin. Click the play button to hear a beautiful acoustic recording of an instrument, then reveal the answer slide to show a picture of the correct instrument.
Your students actively connect sounds with instrument names and strengthen their aural listening skills in a fun, engaging way. Colorful monsters represent each team, and the scoreboard updates automatically when you click their score box. If no one answers within 30 seconds, a funny buzzer goes off! The game adds even more excitement with sound effects—click the check mark to play a crowd cheering, or the X to hear a silly blooper sound.
