Tempo marks game for beginner music students - Need for Speed
LEVEL | Late Beginner |
PRODUCT TYPE | Digital Download |
With this game, you’ll feel the need…the Need for Speed! By associating those unfamiliar Italian tempo words with a race track, your students will quickly figure out which tempo allows them to go faster.
After all, would you rather your race car move at a Lento, a Moderato, or a Vivace pace? I’ll take Presto, please!
How to Play
- Remove any tempo marks you don't want from the card deck and place the board and cards in the middle of the players.
- Place a game counter for each player on the yellow circle of arrows at the start of the road.
- Players take turns to draw a card and move forward as follows:
- Largo = one step
- Lento = one step
- Adagio = two steps
- Andante = roll one die + 1
- Moderato = roll one die + 3
- Allegretto = roll 2 dice
- Allegro = roll 2 dice + 2
- Vivace = roll 2 dice + 4
- Presto = roll 2 dice and double it!
- The winner is the first to go off the end of the road on the other side of the board.
