For much of the year, we do bell ringers with our kids. We start with shuffling the first five notes, then slowly add to it. It’s pretty much how I introduce new notes, scalar/chromatic patterns, and even key signature rules. I noticed a huge jump in retention and literacy when we began this several years ago. If you google “blank fingering tests”, there is a pdf file that has all of the instruments. (There are free and paid versions, FYI).
