ONE to TEN RELAY Game

 Skills Reinforced:  Number Identification 1-10, Fine and Gross Motor Movements

   Procedure:

1.     Select two groups of ten and have a starting line ten feet from the blackboard.

2.     The teacher gives the “go” signal with a movement direction like “hop on one foot.”  The first set of children move to the blackboard hopping.  They write number 1 and hop back.  The children with numbers three and six proceed to “hop on one foot” and exchange squares.  The caller also tries to get to one of the squares “hopping on one foot” before the others do.

3.     The next set of children may have the direction of walking backwards and they write 2 and walk backwards back. 

4.     The teacher continues to create eight more movements until the number 10 is on the blackboard.

5.     This game can continue by having the children erase one number at a time in a relay until all the numbers are erased.
