Maths Games-3

Erase  or Grow

Aim:  To make the students to answer correctly by conducting competition

steps:

• Draw a man (stick figure with a hat, cane, or whatever you want to add) in the sand, dirt, etc.

•  Ask your child a  math question.

• if they get it right they can erase 1 body part ( an arm, a leg, etc.).

•  The goal is to make the man invisible. 

• When we play...

• I add something to the man if they get the question wrong.

•  this is great for spelling practice too

Tips for the classroom

1. Make sure kids never feel ashamed if they don’t already know the right answer. You can also tweak competitive games to make them collaborative.
2. You enthusiasm is critical in these games. Figure out your favorites, and expand on them, or get the students to come up with their own variations. If you’re into them and having a good time, the kids will have a good time too.
