Here’s a great game to practise numbers: Students stand in a circle and take it in turns to say numbers – if you say one number, play passes to the next person; two numbers and the game changes direction; three numbers and it skips the next person. The person who says 21 is eliminated.
It all gets a bit confusing when there are only two people left though, so at that point they take it in turns and can say 1, 2 or 3 numbers.
You can also use it to practise the alphabet, with the person who says Z being eliminated.
sgood this game.
I’ve made it so the person who says 21 gets to change a number for a word in the next round. e.g 12 = brother. it adds nicely to the thinking involved. Would make a good drinking game too I reckon Treza. maybe we should try that one day. xx
I tried it yesterday with my students…I think they need more practice, but they liked it!
