Freeze Game - Instrument Family - Interactive Music Game and Printables

Need a fun movement game idea for your Sub Tub? This freeze game is one of my students' favorite activities! Instrument Family Freeze Game is a fun large group game that can be used for subs or assemblies. This awesome game (Smart Board activity AND printable flashcards!) is great for a brain break in an assembly or as a movement activity to do with a double class when there aren't any subs!

You can project the game slides on your Smart Board or print the flashcards to use.

It takes very little space to play and is an absolute hoot!

My students beg for "that freeze game" and "the 3-2-1 freeze game" every single game day!

This game set includes printable flashcards, a version of the game to project on a whiteboard or screen, plus game instructions, directions for each pose, and teaching suggestions.

This is a game that can be taught by any teacher - no prior musical knowledge is needed.

If you are a music teacher, there is a suggested instrumentation that can be used during class or assemblies, but is optional for game play. I also included directions for how to use these cards as a meter improvisation extension activity.

If you like Reindeer Christmas Tree Candy Cane Freeze, you'll love this Instrument Family-themed freeze game! It's perfect for subs and more!

Special Note: This is not a freeze dance; it is a freeze game. It has been described as a group "Rock-Paper-Scissors" type game. No additional recordings are needed.

COVID-19 Note: All my freeze games can be played without singing (with or without a chant), and are non-touching and non-locomotor. This game can be played virtually as well! (Have students step away from the camera when they are "out.")

Teachers like you are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My students love these games and ask for more! I don't play for prizes or anything, just as a fun end of class game and they consistently ask for more! Love the engagement!" - Kelsey S.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My students LOVE these games! This is the third one we have played this year and they just can't get enough!" - Abby B.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My students enjoy these freeze games, and this version was another success! It worked especially well last year during hybrid learning, when moving around the room was restricted... This provided an opportunity for students to at least stand and move in their space. Fun to use as a review after learning about different instruments/families." - Danielle K.
