  6. What an impressive list! I'm preparing for lesson start up in August and am printing out games to use. This will be a great resource. Thanks! What do you store your games in? I can't tell from the picture. I'm brainstorming storage ideas too as my studio space is small.

  7. My game card storage pockets are made from a a large sheet of clear vinyl tablecloth vinyl, with strips sewn on to form pockets. I inherited it from my mom but I have seen the vinyl sold on a roll at Walmart and Joann's. I used to store it under a couch to pull out for lessons, but now that I have a dedicated piano room, it hangs nicely on the closet wall using Command picture hanging strips. I store the game boards in expandable files with dividers that you can see pictured on this post http://heidispianonotes.blogspot.com/search?q=organization.

    1. I have since updated my game organization To allow for easier lending of games to my students, I store them in color coded and labeled pouches similar to those used by Nicola Cantan on the colourful keys blog. https://colourfulkeys.ie/store-organise-piano-teaching-games/

  8. I love this idea...thanks ;) I want to use it this week but I have a few questions:
    Do have any students who try to change the location of the answer to get BINGO? or do you have them write it in pen? Do you do 5 in a row or how have you played that works best? How do students mark their answers on the board or do they shade it or use bingo chips?
