HOW TO PLAY

• Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. • Place the remaining cards in the centre and turn over the top card to start the discard pile.• Players take turns, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

• On their turn, players may either draw a card from the dis-card pile or the top card from the deck. • If the player has a set (a pair, set of three, four, etc.) they may place it face up in front of them during their turn. • If a player can add to another player's set by adding a matching card, they may also do this on their turn. (For ex-ample a player could place down a set of three: Fa Major, Re minor, and the matching key signature. Another player could then add another Fa Major to this set on their turn.)• If a player places down a set which does not match cor-rectly, they are "locked out" and cannot take their next turn.• When a player is finished their turn, they should place a card in the discard pile.

• The magic key cards are wild and can take the place of any card.• The winner is the first player to get rid of all their cards.

*The teacher may also choose to allow the dominant chord (as well as the tonic) to be used in a set if they want to cover this concept.

ASSEMBLYTo assemble this game:

• Print out the game cards (pages 3-14) double-sided.• Cut the cards along the dotted lines.• Laminate if desired.

LEARNING OBJECTIVESLock & Key is a great way to practise the relationship between Major and minor keys. There is also a more challenging version of this game using chords on the staff: Keyed UP
