Color-coding tone chimes/resonator bells for chords:

Instead of putting stickers on the instruments, I arrange each chime or bell on a corresponding sheet of construction paper.

For example, for "Jingle Bells" in G, the chords are I (GBD-blue), IV (CCEG-orange), V (DF#A-green), and II (AC#E-pink).

Then on the chart (with/without words), I place the blue/orange/green/pink stickers.
