Sim Maths Starter – A Fun Geometry Game for Primary Students! Kickstart your maths lesson with this exciting and interactive game of Sim, where strategy and geometry come together. This activity is perfect for engaging students while reinforcing key mathematical concepts like shapes and lines. Instructions: Set Up: Start by drawing six points on a piece of paper. Arrange them in a way that resembles a regular hexagon. Taking Turns: Players take turns drawing line segments to connect two of the points. These lines can be straight or curved, but they must not intersect any existing lines on the paper. Objective: The goal is to avoid forming a triangle with three of your lines. The Challenge: The game continues as each player carefully connects points, trying not to be the one to complete a triangle with their own lines. How to Win: The first player to accidentally form a triangle with three of their lines loses the game. The other player is declared the winner. This game encourages students to think ahead, use strategic planning, and apply basic geometry skills, making it both a fun and educational maths starter for primary learners.

Moons and Craters Maths Starter – A Fun Dice Game for Primary Students! Turn maths into a fun and creative game with Moons and Craters! This simple dice game helps students practice multiplication, repeated addition, and mental maths while keeping them engaged. Instructions: Roll and Draw: One player starts by rolling the die twice. The first roll determines how many moons they will draw, and the second roll determines how many craters to draw for each moon. For example, if a player rolls a 4, they will draw 4 moons, and if they roll a 3 on the next roll, they will draw 3 craters in each moon. Write the Number Sentence: After drawing, the player writes a multiplication sentence to represent the model. For example, if the rolls were 4 and 3, the player writes 4 x 3 = 12. Alternatively, they can write a repeated addition sentence like 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. Scoring: The total from the multiplication or addition sentence is the score for that round (e.g., 12 for this example). Take Turns: Players take turns rolling the dice, drawing moons and craters, and writing number sentences. Keep a running total of scores for each round. Winning: After a predetermined number of rounds, the player with the highest (or lowest, depending on the rules) total score wins the game. This game is a great way to reinforce multiplication and repeated addition, while also encouraging creativity through drawing and friendly competition!

Dominoes Maths Starter – A Fun Strategy Game for Primary Students! Get your students thinking strategically with this engaging Dominoes Maths game. It’s an exciting way to introduce concepts of space, geometry, and logical thinking. Instructions: Set Up: Players take turns filling in pairs of adjacent squares on the grid, as if covering them with a domino (a 1x2 rectangle). These squares are not owned by any player. Objective: The goal is to claim control of squares by enclosing them. When you place a domino that completes a fence closing off a region with an odd number of squares (1, 3, 5, etc.), you get to claim those squares. Even Regions Don’t Count: Closing off a region of 2, 4, 6, or 8 squares doesn’t count. You can only claim regions that have an odd number of squares. Claiming Squares: When you close off a valid region, mark those squares as yours. Continue playing until no more dominoes can be placed. Winning: The player who claims the most squares by the end of the game wins. This game is a fun and challenging way to develop spatial awareness, strategy, and logical thinking, while keeping students engaged and motivated.

Hex Maths Starter – A Fun Strategy Game for Primary Students! Challenge your students with the engaging Hex game, a perfect way to develop logical thinking and spatial strategy skills. Instructions: Set Up: Each player chooses a different coloured pencil or marker. Mark two opposite sides of the board as yours, and your opponent colours the remaining two sides with their colour. Objective: The goal is to create a continuous path of hexagons connecting your two sides of the board. Taking Turns: On each turn, players take turns colouring in one uncoloured hexagon anywhere on the board. Claiming Hexagons: Once a hexagon is filled in with a player’s colour, it belongs to them and cannot be changed or used by the other player. Winning: The first player to successfully create an unbroken path of hexagons between their two sides wins the game. This game helps students improve their strategic planning while having fun with a visual and competitive challenge. It’s a fantastic maths starter activity that encourages critical thinking and cooperation!

Instructions: Charades is a game of pantomimes: you have to “act out” a phrase without speaking, while the other members of your team try to guess what the phrase is. The objective is for your team to guess the phrase as quickly as possible. Divide the players into two teams, preferably of equal size. Divide the cards between the two teams. Select a neutral timekeeper/scorekeeper, or pick members from each team to take turns. Agree on how many rounds to play. Review the gestures and hand signals and invent any others you deem appropriate. The team that guesses more cards wins!

Instructions: Each player takes it in turns to draw a 2 x 1 (or 1 x 2) rectangle on the grid. Whoever cannot fit in another rectangle onto the grid loses. With the tricky grid templates (template 3 onwards), the rectangle must fit perfectly onto two squares.
