Suggestions for Use:

1. Hang the label cards next to the corresponding picture. Write the words and practice reading them.

2. Hang the label cards only. Write the words and practice reading them.

3. Display the cards with pictures and labels. Ask students to find an instrument from a specific family, such as woodwind, write the name and draw a picture of the instrument.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

Thanks for this! I love the diversity of activities you provide! I set my room up with the small instrument pictures on chairs in a circle and had students rotate to match each instrument and copy their name. Then the photo cards were perfect for variations of 4 corners games!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

My students loved this resource! They are able to move about the room, which I think just always makes kids happy. They also get to work at their own pace and it makes a great assessment for me to use.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

These are awesome! They were very helpful when I had a class that just needed CONSTANT repetition when spelling and organizing the instruments of the orchestra. We would play a quick round of this at the beginning of class and after a few classes they were much more familiar with the spelling and appearance of each instrument.
