Incredible Scales Boardgame

I just found the Incredible Scales Boardgame. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to. I've been so exhausted recently when I get home that I haven't had a chance to work with my son on his piano practice either, but I just found this site that has a lot of tips on teaching music students and motivating them to practice. This sounds like a great idea. You make the boardgame yourself according to all the scales you need to practice, then throw the dice to see which one you should play and with which hand (left, right or together). If you make a mistake while playing it through three times at the speed you choose, you must go back and play it another three times without error. When you've successfully done that (at the speed of your choosing), you get 1 point (I think).

So, the site says, you end up practicing everything just the right amount--the ones you barely know, you do a lot, and the ones you do know, you only do a little. I think I'll draw it on a whiteboard that I'm not using right now. Obviously, this could apply to singing the scales or playing them on an instrument other than the piano. My only scale practice recently has been listening to the Jamie Aebersold scale syllabus CD in the car and singing along to get them in my ear. I think this could be a nice way to motivate myself to practice them.
