We all know that teacher.
St. Patrick’s Day coming up? They already have something festive ready to go.
The piano is decorated, their activity matches the theme, and it somehow looks like they’ve been planning for weeks.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are wondering if green highlighters count as planning.
This time, we have you covered!
Today’s printable is a St. Patrick’s note reading game that reinforces Middle C skills and makes you look very on top of things.
A Lucky Note Reading Race
Two players sit opposite each other with their own boards, cards, and piles of “gold”.
On “Go!”, they flip cards, name notes, and cover the matching note names in Middle C position as quickly as they can.
The goal is to cover every note before your opponent does.
Unless a “Switch!” card appears… and both players must leap up and continue the race on a new board.
Along the way, students get repeated, active practice identifying notes quickly. The racing format encourages faster recognition instead of slow decoding, helping build confidence and fluency in Middle C reading.
