Christmas bells: listen and repeat the melody

How to play

Press “Start”, watch and listen to which bells ring, then repeat the same order by clicking the bells or with the keys 1–4 or the arrows ↑ → ↓ ←. Each round adds one new note at the end of the tune, and your score is the number of rounds completed. On Easy a mistake simply replays the round, on Normal you may make two mistakes in the whole game, and on Fast the first mistake ends it.

For teachers: put the game on the interactive whiteboard – it trains listening memory and attention, and the whole class can play in turns, one round each. For the youngest choose Easy, with no limit on mistakes.

Fun fact: the little bells on sleighs and harnesses were not just decoration – a sleigh glides almost silently over snow, so their jingling warned people that it was coming.
