At last Saturday’s Piano Party, I wanted to play the Spell-A-Keyboard game with my students as a team game, but indoors. Since I couldn’t draw keyboards with chalk as I did when we played the game outdoors, I realized that I needed to come up with some other way to provide a floor keyboard for each team.
So, that is why I decided to create this:
It is not as large as a floor keyboard, but it could substitute for one in a pinch. It is just the right size for beanbag games! Perhaps you can find other uses for this large keyboard.
Directions: Download the “Large Keyboard Printable” pdf from the Printables > Other Resources page. Print the pdf on four pieces of cardstock paper. Cut on the dotted lines and then tape together as indicated. When assembled, the keyboard measures approximately 20 inches x 13 inches.

You can print the printable more than once if you want to create a longer section of keyboard.
Let me know if you come up with other creative uses for this keyboard!
Thanks Joy, I have just laminated and put together two of these large keyboards. They will be great for placing toys and objects that are too big for the real piano keys. Big is fun, different and eyecatching! 🙂
I have a large keyboard I bought years ago from Friendship House. I have younger boys and girls drive from note to note on the keyboard with a small car. They love it
Cute! I need to get myself some matchbox cars. 🙂
