Balloon pop - Make 10 ! (A number bond game)

(0)
This is a handy and fun game to practise number bonds to make 10. Content : This is a Microsoft Powerpoint based interactive teaching tool and contains 20 number bonds questions. How to play : Touch/click on a balloon. A number will be shown. The balloon will become bigger. Provide the number that can make 10 with the first before the balloon pops after 2 blows. The answer will be shown when the balloon pops. For small groups , students can provide the answer verbally. For large groups, a template is provided for them to write their answer, and check it off when the balloon pops. I started on all these game creation to suit the interests of the children I teach. To my surprise, they started giving me feedback and even dreamt up new ideas and shared with me. And they get so thrilled when they see their ideas being put into the games. So feedback is important and I value them very much. I'd love to hear from you :)
