Questions about this template

What level of pupils is it for?
The tune is a well-known nursery rhyme that stays within three neighbouring notes, so it suits beginners of around 10 to 15. For a stronger group, the teacher can record a longer or trickier melody instead.
Do pupils need to read music?
No. It is an ear exercise: they listen and copy. For pupils who get stuck, the hint names the starting note and describes the shape of the tune, down, back up, then a repeated note.
Can the whole class play at once?
Yes. Share one link or project the QR code, and each pupil plays on their own phone in a browser, with no account. It works as a lesson warm-up or as the last lock of a longer music trail.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone, and players never pay. See current plans and features on the pricing page.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and piece of locked content opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 4 minutes, from the first lock to the locked content.
