What you need to play Stinky Sox:
- Stinky Sox cards
- Card stock paper
- Laminator (optional)
- Music (play anything or simply use an iPod to play music while they pass the sock)
- A dirty looking sock
How to play Stinky Sox:
To play, place the Stinky Sox cards in an old, dirty looking sock. Students sit in a circle and pass around sock while listening to music. When the music stops playing, the student with the stinky sock pulls out a card and follows the instructions. Great fun and an excellent way to expose students to new music!

My students loved playing this game… I think the “Sticky Socks” title made it even more fun! We’ve played it this week… and are looking forward to playing it again next week. I predict lots of asking to play this game in the future.

I used this during two of my group classes, and the students had a blast! I like that there are two different levels of difficulty, so the game can be played by multiple levels of students. I even found that the beats for My First Rhythm Cup Explorations make great background music for this game! The tracks are short, and the music is fun and upbeat, so it worked perfectly for passing the sock around. I think the students had as much fun grooving to the music as they did playing the game!

I had a couple of groups try the game and it was a hit! ???? Some have even been requesting to play it again. That’s how you know a it’s a hit!

We had a group lesson at the beginning of the summer and I pulled out this game. Since the children were of varying levels of knowledge, I put them in groups of two…there is safety in numbers. They loved it and everyone learned something new. Of course they all had to carry on about “Stinky Sox” but that only added to the fun. Thank you!

My kiddos love this game & are excited to play it each time so far. If a student doesn’t know the answer or isn’t able to do the activity on the card, I invite them to choose someone to help them. It preserves their dignity & increases their social skills.

This is such a funny game! My student especially loves singing happy birthday in his falsetto voice and he tries to find this card every time we play it in our group duet class now. It was fun to see the kids get out of their shells and just enjoy being silly and enjoying the comrdadery of other students.

I have just had an end of term party and presentation for my students. We played Stinky Sox – and it was such fun – the youngsters had such a laugh – and as one of the parents said – “If we can judge by the laughter at the party they were having just the greatest time”. Thank you Wendy for the wonderful game!
