Recreate the sounds of an award-winning DJ with this greatFat Boy Slim online mixing game. Choose from a variety of well chosen samples and loops, and mix them together to create a dance floor tune to be proud of. The clever thing about this game is that success is measured by how many people you manage to get dancing to your tunes. The students I work with always enjoy this, and see it as a challenge worth working towards. It is also one of the more popular elementary music games that I have used.

Although these elementary music games will be used primarily by music teachers, they need not be used exclusively by music teachers. For instance, I always love to incorporate some of these sites into our science unit on sound. Otherelementary teachers may find similar cross-curricular linksthat would suit their educational goals. These games are great when used with the whole class on a projector or interactive whiteboard, but the mixers and composition games are better suited for individuals or small groups.

The games open in a small window, so if you use Firefox, I would recommend the Flash Game Maximizer plugin in order to make them full screen.
