Roll-A-Drawing (How to Drill Anything)

Here’s a simple way to make things more fun during the lesson. I’ve provided a link to the three printables, I used, but the Internet is full of such drawing dice games, and you could use any of them.

What You Need:

• Blank paper
• Pencils
• Die
• A printable guide for a dice drawing game, such as Roll-a-Snowman or Roll-a-Face or Roll-a-Monster.
• A list of what musical challenges go with each number on the die. You can put anything you want to drill here. For example, my list said:
  • 1 = Note name challenge
  • 2 = Rhythm challenge
  • 3 = Improv duet
  • 4 = Sight reading challenge
  • 5 = Review song
  • 6 = Freebie

Setup:

• None

How to Play:

• The student rolls the die. They must complete the challenge for that number first. Afterwards, they can draw the corresponding snowman, face, monster, or whatever.
• The teach plays too, so you can see more than one result of the drawing game, but the teacher doesn’t need to complete challenges. (It takes too long that way.)
