Take an original Guess Who? game and measure the size of the pictures that are held in the flip-pieces. Use your computer to design cards to replace the characters of the Guess Who? game with composers. Don't forget to include the name at the bottom of the picture and their era at the top... this will allow more descriptive questions to be asked. You will need to print three copies of them on card stock, and it would be best if they were in color and laminated. Replace the original Guess Who? characters with your new composers for both the red and blue sides of the game, and the 3rd set is what the students use to pick for their character.
Instrument version: Use color instruments with names on the bottom and instrument families at the top. Don't be afraid to include Boomwhackers® and voice as instruments.
I got three games donated by students of mine. The YMCA uses our school for before and after school care, and they donated an old ratty set which was perfect for extra parts if some were broken or for music symbols for young children.
