Roll of the Dice
Subject: Maths
(This idea was contributed by Nat)
Age Range: 5 to 11

All the children have to stand up behind their chairs. The teacher should have two or three dice.

The dice are rolled and the teacher uses the numbers rolled (e.g. 2, 4 and 1) to create a question for the children to answer (e.g. "What is 2+4+1?").

The children put up their hands if they know the answer and the teacher picks someone. If the child gets it correct, someone in their row can sit down. If they get the answer wrong, someone in the row has to stand up (if everyone is standing, everyone stays up).

The aim of the game is for the children to try and get everyone on their row sat down.
