What is it about match cards that children love so much? My girls just adore them, which is why you see them so often here at Mama’s Learning Corner!
(This post contains affiliate links.)
Off and on throughout this school year, the kids and I have listened and read The Story of the Orchestra.
My daughter plays violin, so we’ve set out to learn all we can about how and orchestra operates and which instruments are involved.
It’s been a fun adventure!
3-Part Cards: Orchestra
Sadly, I didn’t think to make these 3-part Orchestra cards until this past week. I wish I had them for us to use the whole school year while we learned about the various part of the orchestra.
Better late than never!
And if learning at your house is anything like mine, you know that the school year never really ends and learning goes on all of the time.
So I’m certain my kiddos will have plenty of opportunity to use these cards in the weeks to come!
In this set of printable match cards, you’ll find a set of pictures with words in which the words can be cut off for matching.
There is also a set of picture cards where the words stay attached.
There are many ways that your children can use these cards. Here are just a few suggestions:
→ For younger learners, use as a matching game. Once you print the whole set, you can match conductor to conductor, tuba to tuba, and so on.
→ Match the name of the instrument to the picture.
→ Sort the cards by section (strings, brass, etc.)
→ If you own The Story of the Orchestra, have your child match the instrument to the picture on the page.
→ Listen to some classical music and see if your child can discern which instrument(s) is playing and have him choose the correct card.
What other ideas can you think of?
♥ Note that these cards are available for personal or classroom use. Enjoy!

How Meal Planning Breakfast Saves My Homeschool Day
These are awesome! We are slowly working through this book – working on composers at this moment. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad you can use them, Niki! Yes, the Orchestra book is wonderful, isn’t it?? My children have just loved it.
These are great, so many things you can use them for, going to use them as memory cards, will also use for spelling and writing, relating orchestra musical sounds to the pictures. Thank you.
Johanna.
Johanna, I am so glad that you can use them in your own home! Enjoy 🙂
I can’t seem to upload the 3 part orchestra cards or the orchestra mini coloring book. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Hi Samara, Just click on the image at the bottom of the post, and the download should start immediately. 🙂
Let me know if you have further trouble!
Hi Lauren! I just came across your site after finding your orchestra cards. I noticed it’s missing the trombone. I see you have a new little one so I feel bad asking for something… but do you suppose you might make a trombone card to go with the set? I may try to make one of my own, but it’d be great if there was one that matched the set. Thanks so much for this resource and best wishes with your new little one!
Oh is it missing? I must fix that! The trombone is such a vital piece to the orchestra. I’ll try to get the updated file posted this weekend.
Yes, we are just enamored with this sweet boy! 🙂
xo, Lauren
Hi, Lauren,
Thanks so much for sharing your really nice instrument cards. I saw Jana’s request above for a trombone card to be added. I also think that would be great to have….even more than the cornet. The download that I just made (June 18) still does not have it. Is there an updated file that I may have missed somehow?
Thanks so very much.

Hi Phylies! I’m sorry for the late reply. I am a busy bee planning our homeschool year, so I’ve taken a few weeks off from the site. I’ll try to have that included in the next few weeks!
Thanks for understanding!

Hey, Love these sets. On the coloring pages it is correct, but on these cards you have a contrabass instead of contrabassoon.
Hmm. You’re the first one to mention this. I shall investigate!
Thanks for bringing that to my attention! 🙂

Hello! Just came across your lovely orchestra cards! Looks like the trombone is still missing. Is there any chance you could add it, please? We’ll begin studying the orchestra in a week and would love a complete set of cards!! Thanks so very much!
