Music quiz questions for high school students. Music quiz "it's interesting"

Literally a couple of decades ago, choral drinking songs were an invariable attribute of any holiday and this did not require any special game “provocations” or lead-ins from the presenter; now the entertainment part of holiday programs has become very diverse, and often it doesn’t come to songs at all, which is a pity. A choral song makes you closer, brings you closer and lifts you above the hustle and bustle; it’s not without reason that they say about a happy person that his soul SINGS. Therefore, modern holidays are good because they give guests the opportunity to sing and remember beautiful popular songs from different times.

We offer one of these games - musical quiz “Let's color the world with songs and flowers”

Options for conducting a musical game. You can give each guest one question.You can divide the room into teams and hold a team song relay. And at the second stage of the song relay, check whose team is more friendly and interesting in singing a “colored” song from beginning to end.

Leading: Dear guests! We have prepared an interesting task for you. For each question, you must first guess the name of the song in question, and then perform a passage that mentions the color encrypted in the question: red, yellow, green, etc.

It is not for nothing that it is said:

There are exactly seven colors in the rainbow,
And music has seven notes.
On earth for our joy
Music lives forever!

Goodbye!

How to make a crossword on music?

Now I’ll tell you a little about how I made this miracle. Helped me program for creating crosswords entitled Crossword Creator. It is free, very easy to find on the Internet and install (weighs about 20 MB - that is, not much). Before I started this program, I tried a number of others. This one seemed the best to me.

As you can see, I didn’t include many words for guessing in my musical crossword puzzle - only 27. You can use any number of words. The list of required words is simply entered into the program window, which itself then distributes them vertically and horizontally and beautifully crosses them.

All we have to do is choose a design style, and then download the finished crossword puzzle. Moreover, you can download several necessary files at once: a crossword puzzle without answers, or one with filled-in cells, a list of all answers, and a list of questions. True, the questions are taken from different dictionaries, so most likely the questionnaire will have to be adjusted. For the music crossword example I showed you, I wrote the questions by hand.

Now a very important point. How to output the crossword itself into a graphic file? There is no separate function for exporting to other formats in the Crossword Creator program. Essentially, we just copy the image and then paste it wherever we want. It is best to paste it into some graphic editor: Photoshop, for example. The easiest way is in standard Paint, or you can directly in Word, in the same file where you have the questions.

One technical point. After the picture is inserted into the graphic editor, click "Save as", then enter the name and ( important!) select the format. The fact is that in Paint the default bitmap is bmp, and Photoshop has its own format, but it is most profitable for us to save the image in JPEG format, so we select it.

Conclusion.

Your music crossword is ready. Thank you for attention. If you find this material “useful for society,” please send it to “Contact”, “My World” or somewhere else - there are buttons for this right under this text. See you again!
