Overview

In this game, a secret word is hiding on the music stave! You will see coloured dots on the lines and spaces – each dot is a music note. When you read the notes in order, they spell a word. Can you work out what the word is? Take your time and don’t worry – you can wait before pressing “Continue” to give everyone a chance to think.

Music Tip: Start from the left and say each note name as you go along—just like reading a sentence!

Teacher Tip: Support children by helping them name each note out loud. You can point to the dots and say the letter names together to build confidence.
