    My group class just played Stinky Stockings and begged to keep playing after they ate their pizza. We also played “This or That” as an ice breaker, and it was a hit. Thank you, Wendy Stevens! The prep was so easy with these games.

    My students loved playing your Stinky Stocking game especially the acting component! It was a lot of fun and It’s perfect for small groups and an end of year recap. Thank you so much!!! ????????????

    I used the Stinky Stockings game and the cup tapping We Wish You A Merry Christmas at my Christmas party/recital, and both were a hit! Thanks so much!

    We played Stinky Stockings (Students loved it!) and also tapped rhythm cups to Deck the Halls during our 2018 Christmas Camp. Appreciate all the great resources, Wendy!

    We used it in all our groups before Christmas and found it to be lots of fun. We’ll use it again next year.

    My students loved playing your Stinky Stocking game especially the acting component! It was a lot of fun and It’s perfect for small groups and an end of year recap or an all year round activity. Your materials are fantastic and encourage participation. I noticed the confidence grow within each of my students. I had just as much fun as they did! Thank you so much!!! ????????????

    I just had a Christmas Performance Workshop group lesson for my six students, and we played this game as an ice breaker game. They loved it! They didn’t want to stop! It was so much fun to watch the kids come together for the first time, and interact with one another. They absolutely loved the “acting” tasks and “finish a tune” challenge. Highly recommended for group lessons!

    My high schoolers played this game (using level 2 cards) during our holiday group class this week and it was a huge hit. I wasn’t sure how it would be received by a bunch of older teenagers so I sweetened the deal with an Amazon gift card for the winner – things got very competitive in the best way! We just passed the stocking around so that everyone would take turns equally and that worked well. Highly recommend!

    I have a set of cards called Silly Siestas, which I use with my very young students & students with ADHD or autism to break up their lesson time. So for them, I placed those cards in the stocking. Worked great! My only issue was that the melodies & rhythms in the cards that came with the Stinky Stocking game were a bit too small for some of my students to read. Don’t know if that’s something that could be addressed or not.
    Great game overall, and was fun in my Christmas Piano Parties.

    This game was a last-minute life-saver for two of my studio classes in December. It worked well with mixed ages from 6 to 12. My students loved tossing the sock and doing the activities on the cards.
