Music ESL Games, Worksheets and Activities
In this useful music vocabulary game, students practice forming sentences containing music-related words. First, students turn over the top domino from the pile and place it face-up on the table. The first player then puts a domino down before or after the domino on the table, making sure that the two parts of the sentence match to form a suitable sentence containing a music-related word. The other players then take turns matching their dominoes in the same way by putting them down at either end of the domino chain. If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take a domino from the top of the pile and put it down if they can. If there are no dominoes left in the pile, play passes to the next student. The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game.
