Sound BINGO! A fun game to learn the sound of musical instruments
Basic Bingo rules apply, except the board is a 5X5 grid of instruments (the center square is a ‘free space’ and considered already filled). Listen to the audio clips and cross off (or cover) each instrument as it plays. First to get five-in-a-row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) is the winner. Easy!
- Download and unzip the zip file (4 pdf bingo cards and 34 mp3 audio clips)
- Print the cards.
- Either burn the audio to CD or create a playlist on an mp3 player.
- Set to random or shuffle.

Has your child wanted to learn piano, but you don't have the time or resources to take them to lessons? Don't want them just to learn on YouTube? I created a method book where a dad teaches his son the piano. I have more books in the works, but I hope you enjoy the first 10 pages. Would love to hear your opinions.
