How to Play Dynamic Den Easy Music Theory Student Game

• Place the Dynamic Den game board on the playing zone (table, floor, piano bench, or other flat surface).
• Shuffle all Dynamic Den cards (lions and hyenas) and place the draw pile face-down.
• Student draws one card at a time and places it on the correct dynamic volume on the game board (e.g. mp goes on moderately soft).

But there’s a twist!

If a hyena is picked and there is no Lion King (fortissimo) on the board, the hyena scares the pride away!
All cards go back in the draw pile and are reshuffled.
Only when a Lion King (fortissimo) is on the game board is the pack safe from the hyenas.

When all the dynamics are on the board, the player wins.

We know students are going to love it!

PLAY DYNAMIC DEN IN GROUP PIANO LESSONS

Dynamic Den can be played with either teacher-student or student-student in this 2-player game variation.

• Print multiple copies of the game board so each student has their own board and cards. 
• Each player shuffles their deck of cards and places them face-down. 
• Players flip the top card at the same time. Whoever’s dynamic is the loudest wins and places their dynamic on the board. The losing card is placed in the player’s discard pile.
• If a hyena is drawn by either player, no one places anything on the board (both cards go in their respective discard piles).
• If a match is drawn, both players get to place their dynamics on the board.
• If the winning card is already on the player’s board, just stack the extra cards.
• When draw pile is used up, reshuffle the discard pile & keep going/
• First player to fill their board with accurate music dynamics wins!
