Here’s a listening Game for students to identify different articulations and dynamics.

Give the students a worksheet with a few groups of rhythm in 5 crotchets. Then the teacher make up any tunes with 5 crotchet beats rhythm or plays a scale from C to G in different ways. E.g. slur on the 1st two notes and staccatos on the remaining notes, all legato or staccato etc. Crescendo or Diminuendo. Accent on the1st, 3rd and 5th notes etc. Have the students listen and write the dynamic and articulation marks on the rhythm and play them after they have written down the dynamic and articulation marks.
