Here's an idea for staff work after playing fifty million versions of this fabulous and versatile game:

  • Kids partner up
  • Give each group a music staff board (I made mine from 12"x24" posterboard and laminated with a three line staff on one side and a five line on the other).
  • Give each group a ziplock of Skittles, Alphabits, or whatever you've been using for the game.
  • Have them notate the pattern(s) you've been singing in the game.
