It's time to batten down the hatches and play Walk The Plank! This listing includes 19 Walk The Plank Multiplication Facts games! Walk The Plank is a fast paced game that is sure to bring out the fun in learning for your entire class! Players work as a team to answer multiplication fact questions correctly and avoid the dreaded Walk The Plank card. This game proves to be my student's favorite way to review content each and every year.
The games are easy to prep. Simply open your chosen game, click slideshow and then click 'from the beginning'. The first slide that appears is an introductory slide. The game host, aka the teacher, will control the slides by using the arrows on the keypad. It really is that simple! How to play: Divide your students up into two teams.
Scientific Method - produced using the Walk the Plank. At the end of the year, I put together this little game called 'Walk the Plank.' This game is usually played in pairs, but could be played with four players in teams of two. Begin by giving each pair of students one 'plank,' two 10-sided dice (or cubes you have written on with numbers up to 10), and each child 20 playing pieces.
Each team will line up in single file lines facing the board that you will be displaying the game on. When game begins, the team members at the front of the line will step up and try to be the first person to correctly call out the answer to the problem that appears directly in front of them. The first player to answer their question correctly will rejoin their team and go back to the end of the line. The losing player is out and must take a seat but that doesn't mean that they are out for good! Hidden within the slides are cards that will determine the outcome of the round. If you land on a TREASURE card, you get a free pass AND get to invite a team member that is out back into the game. If you land on a Walk The Plank card you are automatically out of the game.
The game ends when only one team is left standing. An alternative version of the game is also provided along with point cards. You can play Walk The Plank with the point cards and no student is put out of the game, instead they lose all of the team points if they pull a Walk The Plank card in the game. This gives you several ways to play the games. Each game is 51 slides long, including 49 question slides.
This was a suggestion of my own students who loved the games and begged for them to be longer.
