Violin Skittle Game

After finding a fabulous “Skittles Board Game” from Susan Paradis’ website  with a piano game board and playing cards, I realised that it would work very well for violin students.

You need:-

1. A violin fingerboard game board for each player
2. A set of playing cards
3. A packet of skittles

How to play:

1. Give each player a game board.  Place the set of playing cards in the centre of the table.  Place the skittles in a container in the centre of the table.
2. Player one turns over a playing card.  If it is a letter, they place a skittle on the fingerboard game board in front of them (ie if they turn over a ‘G’, they can choose which ‘G’ to place the skittle on).  If they turn over an action card, they follow the directions on the card.
3. Continue in an anti-clockwise direction (unless you happen to turn over the ‘Reverse’ card)

I also encourage my students to know where the note are on a staff or stave and use the ‘piano skittles board game’ on my violin students too.
