Overview

Level 1 – Variation A
In this variation, Sarah shows a note on the stave first.
The class must decide which note they think it is.
Take your time, look carefully — and remember, the question order might be mixed up to keep you on your toes!

Teacher tips:

Encourage pupils to look closely at where the note sits on the stave before answering.
Remind the class to use their knowledge of line and space notes.
