Switch For Seven - An Icebreaker!

We play a lot of card games and board games in my studio. I found a lot of them online (thanks to the wonderful community of music teachers out there), but a few of them, I created myself. 

Most of the games we play are for the purpose of reviewing music information I have already taught - playing a game repeatedly is more effective than listening to me say the same thing repeatedly :)
Switch For Seven was created for a different purpose - for my students to just have fun! I want my studio to be fun and enjoyable as well as amazing musically :), and if the students get to know each other and build friendships, then not only do they hold each other accountable to practice (even if it is by roasting each other mercilessly when they make mistakes in the group pieces), but as a whole, they grow musically. 
This is a game of speed - players are dealt 7 cards each, and after a 7 second count-down, they have to swap cards with each other as quickly as they can in order to gain a set of 7 identical cards. Players score additional points if they can give the meaning of the symbol on the cards they have collected
In a word, this game is fun, fun, fun! Ok, that's 3 words, but you know what I mean :)
Find Switch For Seven in our Etsy Store.
