In celebration of the release of the new Football Fever piano piece, I wanted to give you some football music flashcards that you can use, especially now as the Super Bowl is coming up!
But these are not just music flashcards! We all know the disconnect with those. Many students can name a note on the flashcard but don’t know where it is on the piano. These Football Music Flashcards fix that!
White Keys AND Notes on the Staff
This free download comes with:
- A-G Letter Names – to help your students learning white keys
- Notes on the Staff – to help students learn from the C two octaves below middle C to the C two octaves above.
- Red AND blue helmet colors – New in 2019!
Watch the video below to learn how to play. Then download by clicking the button below the video.
Use This Football Piece for Extra Motivation
If your piano students love American football, I’m almost sure they’ll love this piece! The energy, competition, and excitement of football game are carefully packaged in this motivating piece for early intermediate students: Football Fever!
If You Teach Flute, Violin, or Other Instruments…
Of course, you can’t exactly insert these cards on your instrument. Instead, you can ask the student to play the note in addition to or instead of naming it.
Send a Set Home With Students!
Yes, you can even send a set of these home with your students. Just print them off and have them cut them if you don’t want to. Then ask them to surprise you the next week with how fast they are!

Wendy,
I’ve been trying to watch the videos on the Football Flash Cards, but it keeps cutting out. Any thoughts?
Thanks…..Ann Clem
Oh yeah! That is how we folded notes to pass in class or in the hallway when I was in junior high…

Hi Ann,
It seems to be working when I tested it. Usually when it cuts out, it means that your internet connection is too slow. But you can also try watching it here: https://youtu.be/tL9HhFDc8M8
I hope that helps!
Hi Wendy,
thank you so much for your sharing! We have been so blessed by your method and tools! About the football flashcard,I typed in the name and email but couldn’t receive it.Do you have any other access to it?
Hey Wendy,
problem solved! I received it! thank you so much!
Sure thing, Della! After you enter your name and email, it’s important to click the button under that instead of clicking the x in the upper right hand corner of the window (that just lets you out of the screen, but doesn’t submit it). But I went into the back and end and just sent it to you since I already had your email. Let me know if you don’t get it!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I’m glad to know that you are blessed by the resources! 🙂
Sure thing, Della! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
You are adorable. 🙂 And the football flashcards are brilliant. The paper football is a fun extra! Thanks, Wendy!
Hi Wendy, I just wanted to say thanks SO MUCH for offering this free resource! My students LOVE the football game! Two of my students were giddy with excitement over it today! Thank you for helping me make lessons FUN for them! I love how many awesome resources you create for teachers. You definitely have helped me a lot since I started my piano studio 2.5 years ago! xoxo ~ Amber
Hi Amber,
Oh I’m so glad to hear that they were fun for you and your students. I’m so glad your students like them. Thank you so much for letting me know. And I’m so glad that these things are helping you to flourish. That’s my goal!

trying to download these free flashcards. Are they still available?
Yes, Jennette! Thanks for contacting me via email so I could check into why you weren’t getting them and make sure they get to you. I hope you and your students have fun with them!
I have found really small / less than one inch mini football buttons (and a few helmets) online that you could use for markers as well when identifying the note on the keyboard. The buttons have a plastic shank on the back that is easily clipped off with wire/florist clippers.
AND Kaskey Kids has sets of football figures on stands that are approximately 2.5″ tall that might also work as key markers. Just found these. I like your innovations, Wendy!
Thanks for sharing these ideas, Meryt!
