  • Hold up a number card for students to read, then say a related instruction like “Turn chairs” for them to stand up, do the right number of times, then race to sit down again
  • Say “Touch chairs”, “Look at books” etc then hold up a number card for students to stand up, do that many things, then rush to sit down again
  • Hold up or write up whole instructions with numbers like “Walk nine steps” for students to stand up, do and rush to sit down again
  • Hold up or write up whole instructions with numbers like “Walk nine steps” for students to do or ignore and not move if they are impossible in your classroom (like Simon Says)
  • Ask “How many…?” about things in the classroom for students to count as they touch them, slap the right number card on the board or table, then rush to sit down again
