Around the World: My two boys - 3rd and 4th grade have a speed race to see who can go "around the world" with the most points. Each child starts with zero points. I show them each a math flashcard. The quickest correct answer earns one point. The first one to 10 points is the winner.

I did a Google search and found that Multiplication.com also has instructions on how to play this game.

Large group flash cards are great for "Around the World." Students sit in a circle. Choose a starting person. This student stands behind the next student in the circle. The teacher holds up a flash card. The first student to say the answer stands behind the next person in the circle. If a sitting student says the answer first, the standing student sits down in the winner’s chair. This process continues until at least one student makes it completely around the circle.

MATERIALS: large flash cards
