⏱ 10-15 min⚡ High energy👥 Whole class

• more

🛠 Materials

• Large number cards (1-10) taped to the floor

• Open floor space

📋 How to Play

Tape large number cards (1-10) to the floor spread around the room.
Walk children around touching each number and counting aloud together.
Children stand in the middle of the room.
Teacher calls a number — "SEVEN!"
Children race to jump onto the number 7 card.
Last child to reach the correct number sits out for one round.
Continue calling numbers in random order.
For a gentler version, all children jump together with no elimination.

💡 Teacher Tips

✓Start with numbers 1-5 for very young children before extending to 10.

✓Call the number in a sentence — "Jump to NUMBER FOUR!"

✓Combine with colours — colour each number card differently.

✓This game also works brilliantly with letters of the alphabet.

🔄 Variations

→Call a simple sum — "What is 2 plus 3?" — children jump to 5.

→Replace numbers with letters — jump to the letter the teacher calls.

→Teams compete — first team with all members on the correct number wins.
