Make a mat from 20 A4 pages joined together with the numbers 1-20 clearly written on them (I placed them in 4 rows of 5).
The children are then told instructions such as " Put your left foot on the answer of 3 add 5" and so on just like the game Twister!
Repeat until the child has 2 feet and hands on the numbers. I got the rest of the class to do "Thumbs up and thumbs down" if the child's answers were correct (Also helps children learn their right from their left!).
