 Instrument Flash Cards
There are two sets attached below – one with the name of each instrument below the image and one with the name of the instrument family below the image. Print out one or both sets to use in many different ways. Examples of activities are listed with each set.
Flashcards with Instrument Names
- Print out two sets for your classroom game area and show the students how to use them to play concentration.
- Print out multiple sets and use them to play ‘Go fish’.
- Once students learn the instrument families, use these as flashcards to quiz them on instrument families. Ask them to group the instruments into their families.
- Use them to set up an orchestra – have students place them on the table in a typical orchestra configuration.
