Holiday Solfege Bingo!

In this 5×5 bingo game students are given a short phrase from a popular Christmas or Hannukah tune (both sacred and secular included) and the starting “do”, along with the key signature. Use this fun bingo game to test your students’ solfege skills by calling out the title of the song, or singing the tune. For a challenge, white out the starting “do” and require advanced students to work it out on their own. Also works well in teams or pairs. Calling card includes title so teacher doesn’t have to solfege on the go!

Yes, I am aware that it might be more expensive than you would typically prefer, but consider the following: it took me probably about 16 hours to make it, it will save you significant time planning for the week before break, and can take up several hours of lesson or exam time that you would otherwise have to prepare for on your own. It is also an excellent review for sight-reading and solfege skills while being a fun activity!
