BASKETBALL FACTS

Fun way to practice number facts!

Instructions: Two players stand side by side. If playing in teams, teams can line up in two lines with the first player in each line taking  the first turn and then moving to the end of the line after this turn. The caller calls a number fact, e.g. 3+9, 15-6. The first player to call out the correct answer then has a turn at shooting for a point (throwing the ball into the waste bin). The player scores a point if he is successful. 😀

NIM

Dear kids,

NIM is an ancient mathematical game of strategy.

Instructions: Markers are placed in three piles e.g. 3, 5 and 7. Then players take turns at removing any number of markers from a pile. The player to pick up the last marker, wins. 😎

TANGRAM TANGLES

We just love this ancient Chinese puzzle!

Instructions: Players sit back to back. Each player has the 7 tangram pieces in front of them. Then players are told to make a design at the same time. Can you make a triangle/square/rectangle/an animal shape using all the pieces?

Touchy-Feely Books

First grader children have been working on the five senses, parting from well-known story “The Very Busy Spider”, by Eric Carle. They made their own class book suitable for visually impaired children. They made the main distinguishing features of each animal using different materials, such as glitter, buttons, pipe cleaners, wool, cotton, thread, etc.
