Flower Pot Relay

Ok, this game can be adapted to fit your need or skill. For example, let's say you wanted to review addition facts.

Glue 30 laminated, flower shaped pedals to Popsicle sticks. Get six small flower pots. Label 3 of the pots with three different sums and label the other three with different sums. Then write addition facts on each of the flowers that would match up with a sum.

Break the class into two teams. Place three pots in front of each team. Lay 15 flowers face down next to each set of pots. Have each team form a line.

Play the game by having the person in front of the two lines pick up a flower and place it into the correct pot. Then that student returns to the end of the line and the next person in line repeats the process. Play continues in this manner. If a player notices that one of the flowers was planted incorrectly, he may decide to use his turn to place the misplaced flower in the correct pot. When all the flowers are planted award the team three points for each flower planted correctly.

French fry boxes make nice centers and fast food places will give them to you free if you tell them you are a teacher.

Provided laminated french fry cards programmed with facts. Label the boxes with fact answers. Have the student place the french fry in the correct box.

 

Get a disposable dinner plate - the kind that has three sections. This is perfect for introducing adding. Give each student a plate and some pretzels. Just place a few pretzels into each section; then find the sum of the sets by grouping the pretzels together in the large section.

Sit and Score

Break the class into two or three teams. Line them up in front of the board. Give the first student in each line the same multiplication problem and then say go. The players must run to the board, pick up the chalk, write the problem and the answer, and then sit down. Give points to each team - such as; two points for the first one done correctly and one point for getting the problem done correctly. Repeat this until each person on the team has had a turn.

Give each student a bag of M&M's, Skittles, or some other bagged candy. Have the students arrange the candy in sets or arrays to demonstrate the relationship between multiplication and adding.
