Get up, sit down, turn around
This is a great review game for shapes, angles, and more.
1) Draw the different shapes on the board.
2) Point to each shape and say its name.
3) Students repeat the name of the shape.
4) Say the wrong name in some ways.
5) When I say the wrong name, students must stand up, sit down, and turn around at their desks as fast as they can.
6) The side that does this the fastest gets the point.
7) Play until the class feels confident in naming the shapes.
If you have some slower kids, just choose someone on each side to play rock-paper-scissors for the point to avoid embarrassing a slow student who is always last. This is a great game to get kids moving around and reviewing the terms.
draw the teacher
This is a fun game especially for the younger students.
1) Draw two blank bodies on the board.
2) Have two students answer a question.
2) Students respond and go to the board to draw a part of the body.
3) The team with the craziest looking teacher wins the game.
4) I usually tell them which part of the body to draw.
If you want to extend the game, have students draw things like earrings, facial hair, hats, t-shirt logos, etc.
