Introduce your students to the exciting Territories Maths Starter Game, a dynamic educational tool perfect for primary school classrooms. This interactive game is designed to teach strategic thinking and basic arithmetic through engaging gameplay. Using a map, players deploy and command armies to conquer territories, making mathematics both fun and applicable.
Phase 1: Deployment - Each player starts with 10 armies, taking turns to place them on the map. The strategic placement of these armies sets the stage for the battles ahead. The first player to deploy all ten armies gains the advantage of initiating the next phase.
Phase 2: Conquest - Players engage in tactical battles, deciding which territories to attack based on army strength and positioning. Victory in a battle is determined by outnumbering the opponent’s armies in the targeted territory. Players continue to attack until no further conquests are possible.
The game concludes when all possible moves have been made, with the winner being the player who controls the most territories. This game not only reinforces mathematical skills but also encourages critical thinking and planning.
Starting with simple tools like 10 counters or tiles per player, the game is easy to understand and play. For an enhanced challenge, teachers can introduce more complex maps and larger armies as students’ skills develop.

My Bunch of Grapes Maths Starter Game introduces a fun and competitive element to primary mathematics classes. Designed to improve strategic thinking and decision-making, this game involves players navigating a cluster of grapes with their designated “flies,” teaching principles of movement and consequence in a simple yet profound way.
Game Instructions:
Each player starts by placing a colored dot on a grape to mark the starting position of their “fly.”
Players take turns to move their flies. The player who marked their fly second begins the game.
On each turn, a player’s fly consumes the grape it is on, indicated by fully coloring in the grape, and then moves to an adjacent grape.
The game progresses with each fly hopping from grape to grape, but a player loses when their fly cannot move to an adjacent grape because all neighboring grapes have been consumed.
This game is not only entertaining but also a practical tool for teaching young learners about planning ahead and assessing their immediate surroundings. The straightforward rules and engaging gameplay make it an excellent activity for starting math lessons, encouraging students to think ahead and strategize their moves.
For teachers seeking an interactive way to develop their students’ critical thinking and spatial awareness, this game proves to be an invaluable resource. Dive into a session of the Bunch of Grapes Maths Starter Game and watch students enjoy learning through play!
