Beginners can have fun with these " Monkey Matching Piano Game Cards" to learn about note values or rests.
There are a lot of ways to play:
Idea 1: Place the note and rest cards with 1 monkey underneath each one. The teacher calls out a specific note or rest. When the student identifies the correct one, he gets a monkey. You can play with multiple students too.
Idea 2: Place the note and rest cards down with the number of monkeys under each card corresponding to the value of the note or rest. The teacher calls out a specific note or rest and asks to student to identify which one is correct. When the student guesses a note, she can count the number of monkeys found under the card to see if she is right. If she is right she gets the monkeys.
Idea 3: Place monkeys down in groups of 1, 2, 3 and 4 in front of the student. Have the student draw a note or rest from a pile. The student then must place the monkey on the correct group of monkeys corresponding to the value of the note or rest.
