Music Theory Board Games

Board games are powerful tools for engaging people of all ages in a fun and entertaining way. To use board games as an educational tool is to teach a subject in an original way. Music theory can be a difficult subject to teach due to its technical jargon and understanding of music as a theoretical concept, but learning the subject through a board game can make the subject easier to understand.

Notes Game Board
- A keyboard is needed to reveal the correct notes.
  
  Notes Game Board is a board game for piano-playing beginners. It helps with the awareness of the notes on the piano. It can include as many players as desired. The aim of the game is to get to the end of the board. Each square has a letter on it; when a player lands on the letter they have to point on a keyboard to the key that represents the letter. If the player gets it wrong, they go back to the beginning of the board. The winner is the person who gets to the finish first.
Music Notes Empire
- Music Notes Empire is a board game for all ages.
  
  This board game includes many music theory games for students of all ages. Due to its success, Music Notes Empire is recommended by Music Teacher.co.uk and EPTA UK. It can have one to four players; with over 400 parts to the game there are many variations that can be played. This board game allows music theory to be fun and engaging, without the aid of an instrument. After learning the music-theory games at a basic level, they can be played at a competitive level to enhance the intensity of learning.
Musical Trixtar
- Players have to play Mime Time if they get the card.
  
  Musical Trixter helps children to read music, perform and express themselves in a musical way. The double-sided board game helps children to answer questions in treble and bass clef. The first player to move around the musical track and answer a Vivace (hard) question correctly wins the game. There are different categories to answer including Mime Time, Songathon and Let's Beat It. Musical Trixtar has been rated the UK's no.1 musical education game.
Make Your Own
- Get children working together.
  
  The positives of making your own board game are that you can make it with students, which helps them to entirely grasp the rules and targets of the game. If in a class, the children can be divided into groups of four and create a board game that focuses entirely on the theory and art of music. The children will write down, on 30 index cards, all they have learned so far in their music theory class. These facts they already know can be turned into questions. They can then design their own board game (which can be modeled on current, well-known boards such as Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit) and, when finished, exchange their board game with another group's game.
