For Teachers / Adults:

These Collect 4 Question Mats are great for reviewing topics at the end of a unit or as revision. I’ve used them across KS1 and KS2 and they are always well received. They are aligned to the national curriculum for England.

If you laminate 1 game board between 2 pupils can replay again and a again, answering different questions each time to find different ways to collect 4 noughts or crosses in a row.
(Bonus you only need 1 whiteboard pen per pair!)

How to Play:

(At the start of the game, each pair does Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who will go first.)
Partner A chooses a square they want.
B reads the question on that square.
A answers.
B says yes/no.
If correct, A draws a X/O on their square and gives the pen to B.
If incorrect, it goes straight to:
Swap roles (B chooses square etc … )
