The counting game – 24
Duration: 3:31
How to play:
Use 24 as a target number. The aim is to be the player who puts down the 24th item.
Take it in turns to place 1, 2 or 3 items into a central pile (or use a ten frame). As you do so, count on, saying the number words in the sequence as you place each item. For example:
Player 1 places down 3 items and says "1, 2, 3"
Player 2 places down 2 items and says "4, 5"
Player 1 places down 2 items and says "6, 7"
Player 2 places down 1 item and says "8", and so on until the target number (24) is reached.
Players collect a point if they say the target number.
A new target number is chosen and players play again.
Try playing forwards and backwards.
After playing the counting game, answer these questions.
How could we change the game to make it more or less challenging?
What did you notice about playing the game counting backwards? Did it make your brain work harder or was it less difficult?
Did you work out a way to play this game so that you didn't lose? What was your strategy? Did it work?
