Race to zero
Duration: 8:16
Instructions (select arrow)
Players place their counters at the end of 119.
The person whose birthday is closest to February 29 goes first.
Players take turns to spin both spinners and decide which to use, subtracting the amount from their current position. For example, a player rolled 60 and 4. He or she can choose to subtract 60 or 4. Players explain where they need to move their counter to and explain their thinking. If their partner agrees, they move the counter to the corresponding position.
Players take turns until someone has been able to land exactly on zero.
Players miss a turn if they can not move. If a roll means they would move into negative numbers, they have to move their counter back to 25.

Let's mime!
Use your puppet to mime and move to ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ while you sing it.
Hint! If you made an animal other than a mouse, think about how you could change the words in the song. For example:
‘Hickory, Dickory Dock; the snake slid up the clock’
‘Hickory Dickory Dock; the frog jumped up the clock’.
Think about the way your animal moves as it goes up and down the clock. This may also change the tempo (speed), dynamics (volume) and tone colour (the way it sounds) when you perform the song. For example, the snake may be slow, soft and perhaps have a hiss.
Create a short scene about getting your puppet ready for a day in your life.
Hint! Think about your current morning routine and move the puppet at the same time.
For example, the puppet is lying down asleep to begin, then it slowly wakes up. Suddenly it realises it is late and jumps out of bed. It walks into the bathroom and washes its face before peering in the mirror at itself.
Challenge!
Make a clock using a paper plate and some boxes.
Hint! Look at the picture as an example.
How tall can you make your clock by stacking boxes?
Create a movement sequence, rhythm or vocal sounds pattern, rather than a single sound, for each number on the clock as they are called out.
