How to play
In pairs, players are back to back and pass a ball to one another while counting.
With one ball per pair, players pass the ball back and forth.
Ball must change hands completely.
Allow students time to explore different passes .
Teacher provides students with a starting number and a content focus e.g. count forwards by tens starting at 458, count backwards by hundreds starting at 1200.
Each time the ball changes hands, students say the next number in the counting sequences.
