101 Music Games for Children: Fun and Learning with Rhythm and Song

by Jerry Storms, Jerry Storms

This lively and imaginative book is being used in homes and schools in over 13 countries to help children learn about music and sound while they develop the ability to listen, concentrate, be creative, improvise, and trust one another. Using audiocassettes or CDs, of popular songs and simple instruments children and adults get to play listening games, concentration games, musical quizzes, trust games, guessing games, and more. The games are not competitive– they encourage and reward children for participation, not for winning. The SmartFunActivity series encourage imagination, social interaction, and self-expression in children. To make the books easy to use, games are marked according to appropriate age levels, length of play time, and group size, using helpful icons. Most games are non-competitive and none require special skills or training. The series is widely used in homes, schools, daycare centers, clubs, and summer camps.

This book was a life saver my first year teaching music! I still haven’t looked through all of the games, but I found enough good ones to survive the last couple weeks of school.

This was fantastic if you are a music teacher! Most of the time books with games for music are really lame...but this book was full of games that we will actually play. :)
