A visually dynamic game for all ages, perfect for a sub tub!!
I don’t have lots of time when I’m in need of a sub. Having a sub in my room shouldn’t mean that it takes me longer to set up than the time I’ll actually be gone! This is why I adore my Music Or Not games. They are easy to run, adaptable, and don’t include ridiculous amounts of setup time.
This game set includes 40 different questions that are either an instrument or a river. (Details about what the instrument is or where the river is are included .)
Includes:
Game directions
Three print options for the game cards: color, partial color, black & white.
Two different font options – one more visually engaging for older students, and one for your younger students.
Here are some ideas for using the game:
• Emergency sub plans for all ages (Even little ones can have fun with this!)
• Perfect because your sub does not have to be a music person. Print the game cards and the lists only and keep it no tech and low paper!
• Open House Activity
• End of class reward
• Game Day
• Game at the beginning or end of an instrument unit.
• Cross-curricular activity with Rivers of the World.

My kids love these! Great for the last few minutes of class!

🙂 Glad you love it!!
Susan L. –
So fun! I appreciate that there are 2 versions with 2 different fonts, one more easy to read than the other fun one. Graphics are great, and I like that there is a visual for students to actively participate, like when there is a sub, or they can just guess if it’s used like a slideshow to fill a couple of minutes at the end of class. GREAT IDEA!
Shelley –
Thank you so much! Glad you love it!

Great idea!

Fun game to leave with a substitute! I do think that the price is a little high, but other than that I’ve enjoyed using it in my classroom! A unique idea!

Printed out game cards to use for piano camp (one for every two players). What a fun ice breaker or to use at the end of camp while waiting for parents!

Played with my fifth graders. They had a blast!
Kathryn R. –
Perfect thing to have on hand for a sub, or a break in class when working on concerts etc.
Molly W. –
This game is a great idea and the kids enjoyed playing it. I would like to have had a picture of each instrument on the answer slide instead of a picture of a saxophone.The kids (and myself) wanted to see what the instruments looked like and it really slowed things down when I had to do a google search between the slides. I probably wouldn’t have paid $7.00 if I knew that pictures of the instruments weren’t included.
Shelley –
Hi Molly,
I’m sorry that I do not have pictures of all the instruments. I’ve been hunting for a while, but at this current time I do not have access to public domain pictures of some of the instruments. I am currently working to make this happen, so please make sure you check my facebook page, or the my purchases –> “recently updated” every so often to see if this has happened. I do intend on making this edit when I can find all or at least the majority of the pictures.
Mary F. –
This was a really challenging activity for my music students! I really enjoyed the challenge also!!
If there was any way to actually include a picture of the instrument or river, that would be so helpful.
Even without the pictures, my students loved this game!!
Lena M. –
Fun activity for music centers!
Sarah C. –
LOVE this! (I also have and love Pasta or Composer). We’ve been focusing on instrument families and instruments of the orchestra over the past few weeks, and this was the PERFECT fun little game at the end of class. Thank you!
Rebecca H. –
This was awesome! I love all the games and I am steadily each one to my collection. My students always enjoy them so much!

I have this as a sub resource, and students love using it!
LeeAnne M. –
This game was an absolute hit with my band students! This kept even my normally restless 10 – 11 year old boys engaged for a long time. I will definitely use this game again with other music classes.
Jennifer K. –
Fun time-filler to use at the end of class. I liked learning right along with my students,
christina N. –
Great activity that engages the majority of students.
Alycia A. –
Thank you!
This was great for my sub! Easy to use
Stephanie L. –
This is such a great game for any age group! Love that it has so many different instruments and rivers to explore. I just wish it was in a slide show format, like Google Slides, but I knew prior to purchase that it was just a PDF, and it works really well if you follow the instructions given to just click and get started. Looking up the instruments and rivers gives students lots of interesting facts/information about different places around the world, and instruments from a wide range of places/time periods.
Shelley –
I’m glad you love this. So you know, if you run the PDF in full screen, it will move like a slideshow!
