Detective Bass English

Come and play while you read the notes on the Bass Clef

What is included:

• 12 card boards.

• One big card with the names of the notes.

• One big card with all the notes on the stave.

• Small caller cards with the notes on the stave.

• A page with small cover cards with the Bass Clef.

You will need:

• To print all the card boards and the cards that are included in the game

• Α pair of scissors

• A laminator, if you wish to laminate all the material.

• 2-12 players or a group of players.

How we play this game:

• Each player takes a card board.

• The caller chooses one of his cards and calls the note that is indicated on it.

• If a player has the note on his cardboard, he will have to cover it with a Bass Clef cover card.

• The winner is the player who first covers all the notes on their cardboard and calls Detective Bass

More ideas:

• Guess the note: i) Kodaly movements: Each note is represented by a Kodaly movement as is indicated on the corresponding card. One player chooses a note and moves accordingly. The rest have to guess the note. ii) A player chooses 5 caller cards with notes from the basic octave. He plays these notes on the piano/ glockenspiel/ boomwhackers, and all start to sing (Solfège). The game starts when all turn their back and have to guess the note that is heard.

• We are an Orchestra and we are All Happy Together: Combine the Detective Bass card boards (melody) with the card boards of the Rhythmico 4/4 (rhythm). Split into group and the orchestra is ready!

• Find the note on the piano - Play and Sing.

• Every card board can become a colourful music sheet for the Angel Glockenspiel, the musical bells or the boomwhackers, by colouring the note head with the correct colour.
