Materials:

A soft ball and paper

Instructions:

Students play dodge ball in a marked area. The aim is to throw and hit the others with the ball. The students can’t dribble or walk with the ball. Four students are placed in each corner of the hall and write times tables on paper in maths. When a student is hit and dies they go out to one of the four students and say the times table out loud. When the task is complete (it’s okay to be helped) they overtake the student in the corner and the times table. They stay there until a new student comes. The same corner may not be visited twice in a row.
