You know you have a good game when your piano students end the game by saying, “That was so fun!” A parent even joined in to play during his son’s lesson (all three of us played). He had a blast!
Clover Craze is a chord building game where students test their knowledge of major and minor chords (12 total) while trying to complete their gameboards. But there’s a twist – and players could end up with WAY more clovers than they bargained for!
Clover Craze is available for purchase in the Toucan Piano Store.
The game starts innocently enough with each player drawing a gameboard. The teacher and student go over the notes that make up each of the chords. Then they take turns drawing Clover Cards to see if they can find the notes they need to complete their chords.
But there are wildcards mixed in with the notes and they’ve been touched by the mischievous leprechauns! The wildcards are meant to shake things up and bring the craze to Clover Craze.
What I love about Clover Craze is that it has students working on multiple chords at once (players start with one but that changes quickly thanks to the wildcards!). They have to really think about each note that they draw and check every chord to see if it belongs to one of them. The record so far is a student working simultaneously with 7 chords (that student won the game and got a kick out of managing all their gameboards)!

My students and I played Clover Craze the entire week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. Several students came back the following week asking to play again (which make me SO happy!).
