🎮 Music games for kids
Peabody's music games for kids are free listening and music-making games with no sign-up. Hear two notes and tap which is higher, name the instrument, spot fast or slow, read notes on the staff, make a beep-boop song, or freeze when the music stops. The listening games read every question aloud.

Listening games
Listening is a skill, and you get better with practice. Each listening game plays a sound, reads the question aloud and gives three big answer boxes. A round is ten questions, and it starts easy.
High or Low, Fast or Slow and Loud or Soft are for the youngest. Same or Different and How Does It Feel listen harder. Name That Instrument and Instrument families are about who is playing. Guess the Year is about how music has changed.
Reading and making music
Note names puts a note on the staff and three letters underneath, in eight rungs from the treble lines to both clefs. Beat Buddies is a beat maker that counts the bar in fours. The Beep Boop Studio makes chip tunes on four lanes, with every note on a five-note scale so nothing sounds wrong.
Moving to music
In Freeze Dance, Peabody plays the music and stops it at a surprise moment; freeze in the shape on the screen. Nobody is ever out. In the Music Elevator, press a floor and ride up or down: every floor has its own kind of music.
For grown-ups
No sign-up and nothing to type. The music is made in the browser, with no ads and no words in the tunes. The listening games follow Peabody's rule for games: three answer boxes, start easy, read aloud. More for grown-ups.
