Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template

Free Piano Case: Next-Door Keys

A half step is the very next key, black or white; a whole step skips one. Sort six pairs of keys and count half steps.

Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

The cover: a rolled map, a compass and a key, with the title Piano Note Detective, Half Steps & Whole Steps Keyboard Lab
Case 1: the story and a Learn box with C, C sharp and D numbered on a keyboard
Tasks: half step or whole step for six pairs of numbered keys

What the free template includes

Count every key

Black keys count too: a half step goes to the very next key, a whole step skips one.
